Patiently Waiting
Gold in the Hills: Breaking Free from Patience
Lyrics
Well nothing new has passed this way in a long time
Expressing a lack of recent developments or changes in the speaker's life.
Maybe nothing's ever gonna come
Suggesting a sense of pessimism or hopelessness about future prospects.
And nothing seems to grow outside my window
Nothing positive or lively is happening outside the speaker's window.
I think I'd better go and get me some
Feeling the need to take action to improve the current situation.
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
Expressing a desire to attain success or wealth symbolized by "gold in the hills."
That's making people nervous
Describing the anxiety or discomfort caused by others' success.
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
People become fearful and anxious due to the success of others.
Start praying God preserve us
Expressing a sense of vulnerability and seeking divine protection.
I can't believe how long I've stayed
Reflecting on the extended duration spent in the current situation.
2 more days till I get paid
Anticipating a future event, possibly related to financial gain.
And I'll find that small town boy I'm dating
Referring to a romantic relationship with a small-town boy.
Tell him I'm done patiently waiting
Expressing a decision to stop waiting patiently in the relationship.
Patiently waiting
Reiterating the theme of patience and waiting.
I've had fun just holding hands at the movie show
Recalling enjoyable moments of physical intimacy in public places.
And I've had good times tearing up the town
Acknowledging past experiences of having a good time in town.
But I've spent cold nights waiting
Highlighting the discomfort of waiting in the cold outside a movie show.
Out front of the movie show
Suspecting that some past relationships were restrictive or hindering.
Thinking that half the hands that held me, held me down
Reflecting on the emotional impact of past relationships.
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
Reiterating the desire for success or wealth symbolized by "gold in the hills."
That's making people nervous
Repeating the theme of anxiety caused by others' success.
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
Highlighting the fear and anxiety generated by cold and challenging circumstances.
Start praying God preserve us
Seeking divine protection in the face of difficulties.
I can't believe how long I've stayed
Expressing surprise at the prolonged duration spent in the current situation.
2 more days till I get paid
Counting down to a future event, possibly related to financial gain.
And I'll find that small town boy I'm dating
Referring again to the romantic relationship with a small-town boy.
Tell him I'm done patiently waiting
Reiterating the decision to stop waiting patiently in the relationship.
Some folks never get their share of the sweet life
Observing disparities in people's access to a fulfilling life.
Some just come around a little late
Suggesting that some people may experience success later than others.
I got this feeling sitting at a stop light
Expressing a contemplative feeling, possibly about missed opportunities.
Seems like good things only come to those who
Believing that good things happen to those who take proactive steps.
Hit the road when they know what they want
Emphasizing the importance of taking action when one knows what they want.
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
Reiterating the desire for success or wealth symbolized by "gold in the hills."
That's making people nervous
Repeating the theme of anxiety caused by others' success.
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
Reiterating the fear and anxiety generated by cold and challenging circumstances.
Start praying God preserve us
Seeking divine protection in the face of difficulties.
I can't believe how long I've stayed
Expressing surprise at the prolonged duration spent in the current situation.
2 more days till I get paid
Counting down to a future event, possibly related to financial gain.
And I'll find that small town boy I'm dating
Referring again to the romantic relationship with a small-town boy.
Tell him I'm done patiently waiting
Reiterating the decision to stop waiting patiently in the relationship.
I'm done patiently waiting
Repeating the idea of being done with patient waiting.
