Wait Wait Wait
Love's Embrace in the Cold Night: Hanni El Khatib's Wait Wait Wait
Lyrics
I don't know where you came from
I am uncertain about your origin.
But I do know that I'm not alone
Despite my uncertainty, I feel a sense of companionship.
Be sure that I love you darling
I want to assure you that I love you, my dear.
Even though sometimes we won't get along
Even during challenging times, my love for you persists.
There's not a day that passes by, my dear
Every day, I think about the first night we communicated.
That I don't think of the first night we spoke
Recalling the initial interaction is a constant in my thoughts.
And those words are staying upon your skin
Our words linger on your skin from that night.
Along with that precious smile of hope
Your hopeful smile is a cherished memory.
That's why I'm like wait, wait, wait
I express a feeling of anticipation—wait, wait, wait.
Don't know you know I could be your home?
Do you realize I could be your source of comfort?
I'm like wait, wait, wait
Reiterating the sense of waiting for a connection.
Cause nobody wants to be alone
Nobody desires to be alone.
Lying there on the kitchen floor
Describing a scene of vulnerability on the kitchen floor.
Were the last signs of a helpless soul
Those were the final moments of someone helpless.
And she knew that he would die right then
Recognizing the inevitability of death.
And so she held him until the last breath grew old
A portrayal of holding onto a loved one until the end.
And so she cried as her darling slept
The emotional expression of crying as a loved one sleeps.
In between her arms, slid to the floor
In grief, she slides to the floor with her darling in her arms.
And then she screamed out into the cold, cold night
An emotional plea into the cold night, begging not to lose the loved one.
Oh my God, please don't go
An urgent appeal to a higher power to prevent the loss.
She was like, wait, wait wait
Repeating the theme of anticipation—wait, wait, wait.
I love you more than you know
Expressing deep love beyond what the other person may comprehend.
She was like, wait, wait, wait
Reiterating the desire to avoid being alone.
I don't wanna be alone
Expressing the fear or dislike of solitude.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (ahem)
A vocal expression, possibly an interjection or emotional sound.
That's why I'm like, wait, wait, wait
Restating the theme of waiting as a response to the fear of loneliness.
