Lyrics
Waiting here watching VH1
Expressing the act of waiting while watching VH1, a music channel.
Counting Crows is playing "Round Here"
Specific mention of Counting Crows' song "Round Here" playing on VH1.
And I'm not having fun
Feeling unenjoyable or unhappy in the current situation.
Because you're not here with me
Attributing the lack of fun to the absence of someone special.
Three more years- six more days to go
Counting down time until a future reunion - three years and six days.
Until I see you again
Anticipating seeing the person again after the specified time.
And here I sit alone
Sitting alone and possibly contemplating the separation.
One more time around
Reflecting on the repetition of this situation, perhaps feeling stuck.
It's not time for me to go
Expressing that it's not the right time to leave or move on.
Let me wallow just this once
Requesting permission to indulge in sorrow briefly.
And drown my sorrows in this glass
Using a glass as a metaphor to drown emotional pain in alcohol.
So I try to get my mind off her
Attempting to divert thoughts from the absent person but failing.
But it's not working tonight
Acknowledging the ineffectiveness of the distraction tonight.
I wait for her letters
Waiting for and valuing communication through letters from the person.
And dream we're together
Imagining being together with the person while dreaming.
One more time
Reiterating the desire for another encounter with the person.
Three more years- six more days to go
Repeating the countdown until the next meeting.
Until I see you again
Anticipating the future reunion and expressing the desire for it.
And here I sit along
Re-emphasizing the feeling of being alone during this waiting period.
One more time around
Reflecting on the repetitive nature of the current emotional state.
It's not time for me to go
Reiterating that it's not the appropriate time to move on or leave.
Let me wallow just this once
Seeking permission to indulge in sorrow once again.
And drown my sorrows in this glass
Using a glass metaphorically to cope with emotional pain through drinking.
I can't remember the last time
Expressing difficulty in recalling the last time certain emotions were felt.
Because it's been a long time since I've cried like this
Highlighting the rarity of experiencing intense emotions like crying.
Back long before we even met
Referring to a distant past before the speaker met the person.
Somehow I knew
Recalling an intuitive feeling about the person before actually meeting them.
The sound of your voice when you first said
Remembering the impactful moment when the person spoke in a class.
Those words in the classroom
Highlighting the significance of the person's words and their effect.
And when you harassed me I was glad
Expressing contentment despite being harassed, as it was from the person.
Because it was from you
Feeling glad about the harassment, suggesting a unique connection.
Before I even knew
Reflecting on the connection that existed even before formal recognition.
