How Long Is Too Long
Waiting by the Phone: Unveiling the Longing Within
Lyrics
You keep hanging on for more
You continue to hold on for more.
Building walls around the words around the world
Constructing barriers around the words and around the world.
I keep tripping over hints
I stumble over subtle clues.
I keep spilling every secret
I disclose every secret.
Without spilling any secrets at all
Revealing information without actually divulging any secrets.
Don't you know?
Expressing surprise or frustration.
Of course you don't
Acknowledging the lack of understanding or awareness in someone.
Of course you don't
-The words might choke
Suggesting that words may become difficult to express.
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Pondering how much time is too much when waiting for a phone call.
Did the issue go this far?
Questioning if the problem has escalated to this extent.
Did you set this higher standard for yourself?
Asking if a higher standard has been set by the individual themselves.
I know it's not a fault
Acknowledging that it's not a flaw.
Though I really have to wonder
Raising doubts about whether the standard was set independently.
If you'd ever set the standard without help
Questioning if the standard was established without external assistance.
Don't you know?
Expressing surprise or frustration (repeated).
Of course you don't
Emphasizing the lack of awareness or understanding in someone (repeated).
Of course you don't
-The words might choke
Indicating that words may become difficult to express (repeated).
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Pondering how much time is too much when waiting for a phone call (repeated).
Made up
Suggesting the fabrication of a situation.
You win
Acknowledging defeat or surrender.
I'm lost
Feeling lost.
Give in
Giving in to something.
To each
Recognizing individual choices and flaws.
Their own
-With all their sins
-You keep hanging on for more
Continuing to hold on for more (repeated).
Building walls around the words around the world
Constructing barriers around the words and around the world (repeated).
Don't you know?
Expressing surprise or frustration (repeated).
Of course you don't
Emphasizing the lack of awareness or understanding in someone (repeated).
Of course you don't
-The words might choke
Indicating that words may become difficult to express (repeated).
This small town takes every ounce to build its smoke
Describing the effort required to build up a small town, using the metaphor of smoke.
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Pondering how much time is too much when waiting for a phone call (repeated).
