Lyrics
Why haven't you called me?
Expressing frustration and longing, wondering why there has been no communication.
Did you forget me?
Questioning if the person has forgotten about the speaker.
I need to know
Stressing the need for information and clarity.
When were you intending
Inquiring about the intended time for breaking the silence.
To break the silence
Asking when the other person plans to communicate and end the silence.
And let me know?
Expressing a desire to be informed and brought out of the state of uncertainty.
Mine is the loneliest of numbers
Highlighting the loneliness of the speaker, emphasizing the isolation.
Now is the loneliest of times
Emphasizing the current period as the loneliest time for the speaker.
You're nineteen days late, but still I sit and wait
Indicating a significant delay in communication, yet the speaker continues to wait.
Waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting
Repetition of the act of waiting, underscoring the prolonged anticipation.
Waiting on you
Summarizing the central theme of waiting for the other person.
Who have you been seeing
Questioning the other person about their recent connections that led to forgetfulness.
That made you forget me?
Expressing doubt and curiosity about the person the other has been seeing.
I bet you call him
Suggesting that the other person may have formed a new connection.
Where, oh where does he come from?
Pondering the origin of the person the other is involved with.
I bet he lives close by
Speculating that the new connection might be in close proximity.
I bet he's just a friend
Considering the possibility that the new acquaintance is just a friend.
Mine is the loneliest of numbers
Reiterating the loneliness of the speaker, underscoring the isolation.
Now is the loneliest of times
Emphasizing the current period as the loneliest time for the speaker.
You're nineteen days late, but still I sit and wait
Pointing out a significant delay in communication, with persistent waiting.
Waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting
Repetition of the act of waiting, emphasizing the prolonged anticipation.
Waiting on you
Reiterating the central theme of waiting for the other person.
Waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting, you've got me waiting
Continuation of waiting, expressing the frustration and impatience of the speaker.
Waiting on you
Reiterating the ongoing state of waiting, emphasizing the emotional toll.
I asked you if you'd ever do me harm
Recalling a past conversation where the other person was asked about causing harm.
You answered, "Yes, I'll never do you harm"
Receiving reassurance from the other person that they won't cause harm.
I asked you if you'd ever do me harm

You answered, "Yes, I'll never do you harm" you said
