Don't Make Me Wait Too Long
Eternal Yearning: Johnny Knox's Musical Plea for Love
Lyrics
Okay, okay
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
I'll pump the brakes
Willing to slow down or be patient
Although I don't want to
Despite not wanting to slow down
I'll test my patience
Willing to test one's patience
"The Lord is good to those who wait
Quoting a biblical perspective on patience
To the soul who seeks Him"
Continuation of the biblical reference
My lament takes place
Expressing a feeling of sorrow or mourning
Lady I love you
Declaration of love towards a woman
Figured I'd be honest
Choosing honesty in communication
I don't wanna scare you
Expressing a desire not to be intimidating
I just wanna be honest
Emphasizing honesty in intentions
My rhythm can take it
Referring to musical rhythm as a metaphor for endurance
Spontaneous musical creation
So test my patience
Willingness to test patience again
But in consideration
Considering the feelings of the other person
Don't make me wait too long
Request to avoid unnecessary delays
But if you do
Acknowledging the possibility of waiting
I'll have some thousand songs
Prepared with numerous songs to share
To sing to you
Expressing readiness to express feelings through songs
I have everything to gain
Confidence in potential positive outcomes
Nothing to lose
Minimal fear of negative consequences
Taking every chance that I could
Embracing opportunities with courage
Don't make me wait too long
Reiteration of the plea to avoid unnecessary delays
But you can if you need to
Granting permission to delay if necessary
I'm wide awake
Aware and alert
Before daybreak
Before the morning
I want our future to be yesterday
Desire for a swift progression in the relationship
And the time it takes
Time will affirm the decisions made
They'll call it fate
Attributing decisions to fate
Are the right decisions
Positive anticipation of making right decisions
That we hope we make
Hope for positive outcomes from decisions
Don't make me wait too long
Reiteration of the plea to avoid unnecessary delays
But if you do
Acknowledging the possibility of waiting
I'll have some thousand songs
Prepared with numerous songs to share
To sing to you
Expressing readiness to express feelings through songs
I have everything to gain
Confidence in potential positive outcomes
Nothing to lose
Minimal fear of negative consequences
Taking every chance that I could
Embracing opportunities with courage
Don't make me wait too long
Reiteration of the plea to avoid unnecessary delays
But you can if you need to
Granting permission to delay if necessary
Don't make me wait too long
Reiteration of the plea to avoid unnecessary delays
But if you do
Acknowledging the possibility of waiting
I'll have some thousand songs
Prepared with numerous songs to share
To sing to you
Expressing readiness to express feelings through songs
I have everything to gain
Confidence in potential positive outcomes
Nothing to lose
Minimal fear of negative consequences
Taking every chance that I could
Embracing opportunities with courage
Don't make me wait too long
Reiteration of the plea to avoid unnecessary delays
But you can if you need to
Granting permission to delay if necessary
