She Keeps Me Waiting
Love's Patient Game: Echoes of Longing in 'She Keeps Me Waiting' by Green Over Blue
Lyrics
Like so many times before
Reflecting on past experiences that share a similar pattern.
As I stand outside her door
Standing outside the door, possibly metaphorical for seeking entrance or connection.
She keeps me waiting
Expressing frustration or impatience with someone who consistently makes them wait.
But I could never see
Realization that the person has not acknowledged or remembered them.
That she's forgotten me
Discovering that the individual has overlooked or neglected the speaker.
She keeps me waiting
Reiteration of the frustration and impatience caused by waiting.
I've been waiting for so long
Emphasizing the extended duration of waiting.
So long
Repetition of the prolonged waiting period.
I've been waiting for so long
Continued emphasis on the extended wait, suggesting emotional endurance.
So long
Reiteration of the emotional endurance and patience endured.
Only I could not begin
Feeling powerless to initiate or pursue a connection.
Knowing I could never win
Acceptance that winning the person's affection is impossible.
And now I know this time
Acknowledging the realization that the person was never romantically involved.
That she was never mine
Understanding that the person was never truly theirs.
I've been waiting for so long
Repeating the theme of enduring a prolonged wait for a connection.
So long
Continued expression of enduring a lengthy period of anticipation.
I've been waiting for so long
Reiteration of the prolonged waiting experience.
Oh Yeah
An affirmative expression, possibly indicating acceptance or understanding.
I'll come
A commitment to respond or be present when called upon.
Whenever you call me
A pledge to stay close and be available when needed.
I'll stay
A promise to remain by the person's side.
Right here by your side
Commitment to stand by and offer support when required.
I'll stand
Reaffirmation of the commitment to be available whenever needed.
Whenever you need me
Expressing a willingness to fall or surrender into the person's embrace.
I'll fall
A declaration of readiness to fall into the person's arms.
Right into your arms
Expressing a desire to be held by the person.
She keeps me waiting
Reiteration of the frustration and impatience caused by waiting.
She keeps me waiting
Repeating the theme of enduring a prolonged wait for a connection.
