Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

I can wait, I can wait, I can wait, I can wait, I can wait

I can patiently endure, emphasizing willingness to wait

But I can't wait for it all

Impatience or eagerness for a significant event or outcome

And I can't wait too long

There's a limit to the waiting, can't wait indefinitely


I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake

Awareness and consciousness, possibly after a period of sleep

Must be another day

Transition to a new day or phase of life

How long was I awake?

Questioning the duration of wakefulness


How you say, how you say, how you say, how you say, how you say?

Inquiring about communication or expression

I can't say any more

Unable to express or articulate further

Like a ship to the shore

Metaphor of a ship returning to a safe place


I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid

Expressing fear or apprehension

A mistake has been made

Acknowledging a mistake or error

There's a price to be paid

Consequences or a cost to be faced


If I could trade, I could trade, I would trade, I would trade, I would trade

Willingness to give someone a break or chance

I would give you a break

Offering support or assistance to lighten a burden

Help you carry the weight

Sharing the weight of a situation


I can take, I can take, I can take, I can take, I can take

Willingness to accept or receive

And I can give it away

Capability to give away or let go

I could leave or stay

Decision point to leave or stay in a situation


My mistake, my mistake, my mistake, my mistake, my mistake

Acknowledgment of a personal mistake or wrongdoing

Just get me out of the way

Desire to step aside or withdraw from a situation

Somebody else take the stage

Willingness for someone else to take the spotlight or responsibility
