While I'm Waiting
Eternal Echoes: Navigating Love's Currents in 'While I'm Waiting'
Lyrics
I'll swim to you while I'm waiting
I am committed to reaching you despite the waiting.
I can't seem to find the edge
I'm struggling to define the limits or boundaries.
There's something pulling me to you
There's a force drawing me towards you.
I'm kneeling by my bed
I am in a humble position, possibly in prayer or contemplation.
Walking up the beach
Walking along the shoreline.
I'm pulling sand beneath my feet
Engaging with the environment, feeling the texture of sand.
I'm singing poems to the version of you that I thought you'd be
Expressing feelings through poetry to an idealized version of you.
I waited all my life yeah
A sense of waiting throughout one's life.
I wasted all my time
Regret for misspent time.
I waited all my life yeah
Reiteration of waiting for a significant event or person.
Pulling in the line
Taking action, perhaps to draw someone closer.
You teach the kids how to swim
Teaching and nurturing, particularly in a relationship.
Walking underneath
Continuing the journey beneath the surface.
Just break the surface tension
Breaking through barriers or difficulties.
I'm not that intimidating
Expressing vulnerability, not intending to be threatening.
Fading
Fading, possibly losing strength or visibility.
Talking just reiterating
Repeating words without adding new information.
Oh but you'll save me
Belief in being rescued or supported.
Calling daily tests my patience
Regular challenges that test one's patience.
I waited all my life yeah
Reiteration of waiting throughout one's life.
I wasted all my time
Regret for misspent time, echoing earlier sentiments.
I waited all my life yeah
Continued waiting and anticipation.
Pulling in the line
Taking action again, pulling in a line.
Now you're here
The awaited person is now present.
Inside my head
The person is now occupying the thoughts.
Dream of me
Encouraging dreams involving the person.
Pull back again
Retreating or holding back.
Now you're here
Reiteration of the person's presence in the mind.
Inside my head
Continuation of dreams and thoughts.
Dream of me
Encouraging a return to a particular state or place.
Go right back to
Returning to a waiting state.
Waiting all my life yeah
Reiteration of waiting throughout one's life.
I wasted all my time
Regret for misspent time, mirroring earlier lines.
I waited all my life yeah
Continued waiting and anticipation.
Pulling in the line
Taking action again, pulling in a line.
I wasted all my time
Acknowledging the waste of time.
I waited all my life yeah
Reiteration of waiting throughout one's life.
Pulling in the line
Continued action of pulling in a line, possibly towards a goal.
