Lyrics
For years I've waited
Expressing a long period of anticipation
For a sign that indicated a spark
Waiting for a sign indicating a romantic connection
In your eyes to show me path which to embark
Seeking guidance and direction in a relationship
It never came so I stayed in the dark
Not receiving the expected sign, remaining in uncertainty
Just come with me and let's grab ourselves a drink
Inviting the person to share a moment and open up
Maybe then you can tell me what you think
Encouraging the person to express their thoughts
On the walk home, it got cold
Describing a cold weather during the walk home
And the snow came falling down
Snowfall creating a serene atmosphere
And with no sound around
Quiet surroundings during the snowfall
Her hand came to mine
Physical closeness, holding hands
As we walked slow in time
Slow and synchronized movement together
Watched our breath turn to smoke
Observing breath turning into visible vapor
And the moon knew with it's glow
Moonlight adding a poetic touch to the scene
Our walk home, it would be slow
Anticipating a slow and prolonged walk home
And drawn-out
Emphasizing the extended nature of the experience
Still dug in my mind is the still of the night
Reflecting on the stillness and calmness of the night
And her words as she spoke
Recalling impactful words spoken during the night
She said, I admire spending time with you
Expressing admiration for spending time together
There is nothing I would rather do
Affirming a genuine desire to be in each other's company
The tone of her voice told the truth
Noticing sincerity in the tone of the person's voice
And it let me know
Realizing the truth conveyed by the tone
To grip tight and don't let go
Emphasizing the importance of holding onto the relationship
For years I've been pushing water with a rake uphill
Metaphorically describing a challenging journey
And haven't stopped to think of my mistakes
Reflecting on past mistakes and lack of self-awareness
It took you to open up these eyes
Credit to the person for bringing clarity to life
That maybe I've been doing something right
Recognizing positive aspects in one's actions
On the walk back the sun rose
Transitioning to a different phase or perspective
And I chose a different path
Choosing a new direction with acceptance
And was alright with that
Being content with the chosen path
My sight would be blurred as I moved on forward
Facing challenges with a slightly obscured vision
With my mind stuck in trance
Continuing forward with a focused yet contemplative mind
Am I naïve to believe that someone wants me for me
Questioning the genuineness of being wanted for oneself
And only me
Expressing uncertainty about exclusivity in desire
I can't be too sure yet already I yearn
Yearning for a renewed opportunity
For a second chance
Desiring a second chance in relationships
Heavier weighs lost love over time
Acknowledging the significance of patience in love
Good things come to those with patient minds
Optimism about positive outcomes for patient individuals
A foraging mind only seeks to find
Expressing the active search for emotional fulfillment
A provisional plug that barely fills the void
Describing a temporary solution that doesn't fully satisfy
