Waiting for You
Longing and Restless Yearning: The Bangles' "Waiting for You
Lyrics
I get so restless here alone
Feeling uneasy and impatient when alone
That's why I call you on the phone
Seeking connection by calling on the phone
I get nervous, over-anxious, lose control
Experiencing nervousness, over-anxiety, and loss of control
Waiting for you, baby
Expressing anticipation and yearning for the presence of a loved one
Lately I dream that I'm in your arms
Having dreams of being in the arms of the person
When you're here I feel I'm safe from harm
Feeling a sense of safety when the person is present
I'd do anything that you want, babe
Willingness to do anything the loved one desires
Anything at all
Commitment to fulfilling any request or desire
And I'm waiting for you to see
Waiting for the loved one to recognize their importance
You mean the world to me
Expressing deep affection and value for the person
Stars and the moon wait for you in my lonely room
Using celestial imagery to emphasize the longing in an empty space
The warmth of the sun is in your smile
Associating the warmth of the sun with the person's smile
I get so restless here alone
Reiterating restlessness when alone
That's why I call you on the phone
Seeking connection through a phone call as a remedy
I'd do anything that you want, babe
Renewing the commitment to fulfill the loved one's desires
Anything at all
Reiterating the willingness to do anything for the person
And I'm waiting for you to see
Re-emphasizing the desire for the loved one to recognize their importance
You mean the world to me
Reiterating deep affection and value for the person
Waiting for you
Expressing the ongoing state of waiting for the loved one
Waiting
Repeating the theme of waiting with a sense of anticipation
