Long Time Comin'
Longing for Love: Embracing Healing Amidst Pain
Lyrics
It's been a long time comin'
Expressing that a significant amount of time has passed.
Waitin' on you
Waiting for someone.
Waitin' on me
Waiting for reciprocation.
To say he was through
Suggesting a relationship has ended or a decision to end it has been made.
It's been a long time comin'
Reiterating the prolonged duration.
This thing we can't fight
Describing an inevitable challenge or conflict in the relationship.
Try as we might
Despite efforts, unable to resist the challenge.
We can't stop staring tonight
Highlighting an intense attraction or connection.
So baby come love me
Inviting the partner to love, indicating a desire for reconciliation.
Leave your hurt at the door
Encouraging the partner to leave behind emotional pain.
You don't need it no more
Asserting that the partner is now free from past hurt.
'Cause you've got me to hold
Emphasizing the speaker's role as a source of comfort and support.
It's been a long time comin'
Repeating the acknowledgment of a prolonged and challenging journey.
Took a whole lot of sting
Acknowledging difficulties overcome in the relationship.
But now we're just dancin'
Transitioning to a positive phase, symbolized by dancing.
Away to that old George Strait
Referencing an enjoyable activity related to the singer's taste (George Strait).
So baby come love me
Repeating the invitation to love, suggesting it's a crucial moment.
Leave your hurt at the door
Encouraging the partner to let go of emotional baggage.
You don't need it no more
Reiterating the partner's freedom from past pain.
'Cause you've got me to hold
Reassuring the partner of the speaker's support and affection.
So baby come love me
Repeating the call for love, emphasizing the partner's emotional liberation.
You don't need it no more
Asserting that the partner no longer requires past emotional burdens.
'Cause you you you you got me
Underscoring the partner's possession of the speaker's love.
So baby come love me
Repeating the plea for love, stressing the partner's freedom from pain.
Leave your hurt at the door
Encouraging the partner to leave behind emotional hurt again.
You don't need it no more
Reaffirming the partner's emotional liberation with the speaker's support.
'Cause you've got me to hold
Concluding with the assurance of the speaker's role in holding the partner.
