Love Don't Leave Me Waiting
Yearning for Answers: Decoding Glen Hansard's Love Don't Leave Me Waiting
Lyrics
Love, you've been hesitating
Love has been indecisive or uncertain
You've been hanging on for that sign too long
Love has been waiting for a clear signal for too long
And love, you've been leaving me waiting
Love has been making the speaker wait
And I don't know why or what it is I've done
The speaker is unsure why love is distant or what actions caused this
And love, don't leave me guessing
The speaker pleads for love not to leave them in uncertainty
Oh, love, don't keep me
A continuation of the plea for love not to keep the speaker guessing
Show yourself to me
The speaker requests love to reveal itself
And time, you've been erasing
Time has been gradually removing moments or experiences
You've been running out on me
Time has been passing without the expected continuity in the relationship
And tongues, you've been a talking
Tongues (people or voices) have been speaking without clarity
You've been saying what you really mean
People have been saying things without expressing their true intentions
And love, don't leave me waiting
Love is urged not to leave the speaker waiting
Oh, love, don't keep me
A repetition of the plea for love not to keep the speaker waiting
And love, don't leave me guessing
Love is urged not to leave the speaker in uncertainty
Oh, love, don't keep me
A repetition of the plea for love not to keep the speaker guessing
Show yourself, show yourself
The speaker explicitly asks love to reveal itself
And love, don't leave me waiting
Love is urged once again not to leave the speaker waiting
Oh, love, don't keep me
A repetition of the plea for love not to keep the speaker waiting
And love, don't leave me guessing
Love is urged not to leave the speaker in uncertainty
Oh, love, don't keep me
A repetition of the plea for love not to keep the speaker guessing
Show yourself to me
The speaker reiterates the request for love to reveal itself
