Lyrics
Bad dreaming last night left a maze in my head
Reflects on unsettling dreams causing confusion
I've come to know
Expresses understanding or realization
Truth ain't never on your side when you lie to yourself
Truth evades when self-deception occurs
Some people stay quiet in the search of a lifeline
Some endure silently hoping for a rescue
Some talk to much
Others are talkative
Should I pray for good luck, or wait on a sign
Contemplating whether to rely on luck or wait for a sign
Don't hold me up (x2)
Request to not delay progress or hinder
Now that I wonder
Expressing a sense of questioning or curiosity
How long, how long can I wait? (x2)
Frustration about waiting for an unknown period
I'm tired of wasting and tired of pacing
Fed up with wastefulness and restlessness
So how long can I wait
Reiteration of impatience regarding waiting
Good love at 22, Brooklyn bound to hold her
Recollection of a significant love experience in the past
In flesh and bones
Describing the tangible presence of the loved one
I've known a better ending from a lesson I learned
Understanding a better outcome from a lesson learned
You better arm yourself when your heart overflows
Preparing oneself emotionally when overwhelmed
Maybe shouldn't I be telling you it comes and it goes
Questioning the advisability of sharing transient nature
You're more than what you think you are (x2)
Acknowledging someone's greater potential
So go ahead and ask yourself
Encouragement for introspection
How long, how long can I wait? (x2)
Reiteration of impatience in waiting
I'm tired of wasting and tired of pacing
Continued frustration with wasting time
So how long can I wait
Repeated expression of impatience
(I can't wait no longer)
Sense of urgency, unable to delay any longer
(It moves inside and under)
Suggesting an internal conflict or struggle
Hands up to your eyes
Metaphorically raising hands to block painful truths
To cover truth inside a lie
Using lies to protect from hurting
To never hurt, to never hurt
Desire to avoid causing pain
A love without a name
Love lacking clear definition or identity
Is like a bird outside a cage
Love's freedom outside conventional bounds
It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt
Emphasizing love's lack of pain
So say you love me (x6)
Repeated plea for affirmation of love
I'm tired of waiting (x8)
Exhaustion from prolonged waiting
