Sitting, Waiting
Love's Evolution: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
It started out like any other stupid little day
Describing an ordinary start to the day
Head racing, time is ticking
Feeling stressed and pressured by time
I'm wasting it away
Feeling like time is being wasted
You say that it's not me, it's you, and that I'm really great
Being told that the other person wants to end the relationship but compliments are not comforting
Well fuck your validation. Take that shit and go away
Rejecting the need for validation from the person
You started hearing "oh wow"
Others expressing surprise about being in love
"How could you be in love?"
Questioning how love is possible
Slow down
Advising to slow down to avoid a sudden negative outcome
Before you crash and burn
Warning against a potential crash or failure
She got me sitting, waiting, getting older as I write this song
Feeling stuck and waiting for something while time passes
What's the fun in getting older if you're not in love?
Reflecting on the lack of enjoyment in getting older without love
Time is passing by, and now your feelings start to change
Noticing changes in feelings over time
Washing it away as if you never felt the pain
Trying to erase painful memories or emotions
...
Empty line (lyrical pause)
Changing everything bout me cause you thought I was great
Changing oneself to fit the other's perception of greatness
The hair, the shoes, the clothes, the laugh, it all just got replaced
Altering physical and emotional aspects to please someone else
Now, when i think back on you, it all seems dull and grey
Memories of the past relationship seem colorless and uninspiring
When im with her, my heart it soars i never feel afraid
Feeling free and courageous in a new relationship
Bet ya started thinking "oh wow"
Others now questioning what it's like to be in love
"what's it like to be in love"
Curiosity about the experience of love
Im not slowing down
Asserting not to slow down due to determination
Cuz im not playing games
Not engaging in games or manipulation
She got me sitting, waiting, getting older as i write this song
Continuing to wait and age while expressing feelings through music
What's the fun in getting older if you're not in love
Questioning the value of aging without love
Time is passing by and now your feelings start to change
Noticing changes in feelings over time (repeated theme)
Washing it away as if you never felt the pain
Trying to erase painful memories or emotions (repeated theme)
...
Empty line (lyrical pause)
Yeah
An interjection expressing agreement or understanding
Sitting, waiting, getting older as i write this song
Continued sense of waiting and aging while expressing feelings through music (repeated theme)
What's the fun in getting older if you're not in love
Reiterating the lack of fun in aging without love (repeated theme)
Time is passing by, and now your feelings start to change
Noticing changes in feelings over time (repeated theme)
Wash it all away as if you never felt the pain
Trying to erase painful memories or emotions (repeated theme)
