Waiting in Walthamstow
Yearning Echoes: Waiting in Walthamstow's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
I got this thing in my head, when I awake in my bed
The speaker has thoughts occupying their mind when they wake up in bed.
While I was thinking about when I wondered if you thought about me
Reflecting on whether the person they're thinking about thinks of them too.
I've got a pain in my heart whenever we are apart
Feeling emotional distress or sadness when away from the person they care about.
I've got a pain in my head when I awake in my bed
Experiencing mental anguish when waking up.
And I was waiting there for you, you were waiting there for me
Expressing mutual waiting or longing between the speaker and the person they care about.
I was waiting there for you, you were waiting there for me
-Ah-ahah ah-ahah ah-ahah
-I took the underground, I went eastbound
The speaker took public transportation (the underground) towards the east, specifying a location.
I went to Walthamstow
Arrived at Walthamstow, a specific place the speaker visited.
While you were waiting to see me there, I really really want you to know
The person the speaker cares about was anticipated to meet there, emphasizing the desire for acknowledgment.
I'll never forget your kindness (ah ah), I'll never forget your grace (ah ah)
Gratitude expressed for the kindness, grace, and honor of the person being addressed.
I'll never forget your honor (ah ah), you make the world a beautiful place (ah ah)
Acknowledgment of the positive impact the person has on the world.
I was waiting there for you, you were waiting there for me
Expressing mutual waiting or longing between the speaker and the person they care about.
I was waiting there for you, you were waiting there for me
