Lyrics

Everybody's got somebody to see

Everyone has someone they are meeting or spending time with.

Everybody's got somebody but me

Everyone has a companion except the speaker.

Everybody's got a place to go on a Saturday night

People have plans for Saturday night, but the speaker is alone.

But I'm on my own

The speaker is currently without company or plans.


Everybody's got a bed for two

Others have beds for two, while the speaker's bed is empty.

Without another mine is wasting room

The speaker's mind is vacant without another person.

I'm not afraid to start looking for you

The speaker is willing to search for love but fears missing the right person.

I'm just afraid I'll be out while you're passing through oh

Fear of missing the right person while searching for love.


I'll be waiting, holding my ground

The speaker is patiently waiting and standing firm.

'Cause I know you'll be coming around

Confident that the person of interest will eventually come around.

I could take a blow from cupids bow if it helps you find me baby

Willing to endure challenges for the sake of love.

Oh I'll just stay here lingering for you

The speaker is lingering and waiting for the person they desire.


Everybody's got a hand to hold

Others have someone to hold hands with, but the speaker is alone.

Without another mine is getting cold

The speaker's loneliness is making their heart grow cold.

And if I never leave I'll never miss you

Choosing not to leave in the hope that the person will arrive soon.

It's just a matter of time before you pass through

Believing that the person of interest will come through eventually.


I'll be waiting, holding my ground

Waiting steadfastly and holding ground for the expected arrival.

'Cause I know you'll be coming around

Confident that the person will come around as anticipated.

I'll sit on my own sending waves of smoke if it helps you find me baby

Using symbolic gestures like sending waves of smoke to be noticed.

Oh I'll just stay here lingering for you

Lingering and waiting for the person they desire.


I'll whisper, I'll scream

Expressing emotions in various ways, whether softly or loudly.

Either way you'll remain in a dream

Regardless of the approach, the person remains in a dreamlike state.

But I foresee the day

Anticipating the day when loneliness will start to fade away.

When the loneliness will start to decay

Believing that the loneliness will eventually diminish.

You can take for granted the seed I've planted

Assurance that efforts made now will lead to a positive outcome.

But soon that baby will grow

Symbolic planting of a seed that will grow into something meaningful.

And in no time honey I'll find this funny

Confident that the current situation will become amusing in the future.

'Cause I'll be running the show, show yeah

Envisioning a time when the speaker is in control of the situation.


I'll be waiting, holding my ground

Continuing to wait and stand firm for the anticipated arrival.

'Cause I know you'll be coming around

Confidence in the eventual arrival of the person of interest.

I'll defy the night and shine beams of light if it helps you find me baby

Willing to endure the night and provide guidance to be found.


Oh I'll be waiting holding my ground

Persisting in waiting and standing firm for the expected arrival.

'Cause I know you'll be coming around

Confident that the person will come around as anticipated.

I could take a blow from cupids bow if it helps you find me baby

Willing to endure challenges for the sake of love.

Oh I'll just stay here lingering for you

Lingering and waiting for the person they desire.
