Lyrics
You can not wait any long time
You cannot wait any longer
Although you’re gone maybe so right
Even though you're gone, maybe it's the right decision
I’ve been waiting so long
The speaker has been waiting for a considerable amount of time
Just to know if you made it home that night
The speaker eagerly wants to know if the person made it home that night
Oh won’t you let me know
The speaker implores the person to inform them
If our bones made it home alright
Concern about whether their "bones" (metaphor for essence or being) made it home safely
I see what you doin’
The speaker is aware of the person's actions
What you doin’, what you doin’
Repetition of questioning the person's actions
Nobody could show me
No one else could demonstrate or explain as the person did
I see what you’ve done
The speaker acknowledges the person's past actions
Do what you do, do what you do
Encouraging the person to continue doing what they do
You’re sitting there in the morning light
Describing the person sitting in the morning light
Ready to create your sunrise
Ready to create their own sunrise, possibly a metaphor for a new beginning
You observe while others gonna touch the sky
Observing while others pursue their aspirations
Then pass each other like ships in the night
People passing each other like ships in the night, implying missed connections
Won’t you let me know, if you made it home that night
Reiterating the desire to know if the person made it home
Oh won’t you let me know
Asking again for confirmation
If our bones made it home alright
Concern for the well-being of the person's essence or being
I see what you doin’
Repetition of being aware of the person's actions
I see what you doin’
Reiteration of understanding the person's actions
Nobody can show me
No one else can demonstrate or explain as the person does
Everybody only
Everyone only does what they do
Do what you do
Encouragement to keep doing what the person does
Everybody’s on a dream
Everyone is pursuing a dream
Darling won’t you go where you want
Encouraging the person to go where they want
Cause it’s only me being lonely
Emphasizing that the speaker is feeling lonely
Stay where you are
Suggesting the person stay where they are
And I’ll see you eventually
Expressing the hope to see the person eventually
