Lyrics

I'm sick of waiting

I am tired of waiting

I've been waiting so long

I've been waiting for a considerable amount of time

I'm double crossing all the lines I used to draw

I am violating the boundaries I used to set for myself

All the distractions we use

We use various distractions to pass the time

To fill the time

These distractions are used to occupy time

I'll admit I don't miss

I confess that I don't miss that kind of lifestyle

That kinda life

Referring to a past lifestyle that is not missed

So I'm here

I am present or making a statement of existence

Lessons

Refers to life lessons

I had to learn

Knowledge acquired before reaching a point of no return

Before I'm too gone

Before it's too late, acknowledging the need for learning

Echoes

Reverberations or lingering effects inside the mind

Inside my head

Awareness of personal desires and goals

And I know what I want

Expressing impatience, reiterating the feeling of waiting

I'm sick of waiting

Repetition of the sentiment of being tired of waiting

I've been patient you know

Acknowledging the endurance of patience

My heart is racing and my lungs are in my throat

Physical and emotional reactions to the anticipation

Anticipation, you said

Referring to the expectation of things staying the same

That you won't change

Assurance that the other person won't change

I'll adjust, there's no rush

Willingness to adapt, indicating no urgency

Just stay the same

Emphasizing the desire for constancy

I'm still here

Reiteration of personal presence or existence

Lessons, I had to learn

Recalling lessons learned before irreversible consequences

Before I'm too gone

Similar to line 11, emphasizing the importance of learning

Echoes inside my head

Repetition of echoes inside the mind, suggesting persistence

And I know what I want

Confirmation of understanding personal desires

Choices, you had to make

Referring to decisions made by someone else

But now you restart

Starting anew after making decisions

Echoes inside your head

Continuation of echoes inside the mind theme

Do you know what you want?

Posing a question about self-awareness and desires

I expect the unexpected

Expressing readiness for unexpected events

You caught me off guard

Surprise or shock due to unforeseen circumstances

You know time and I ain't friends

Highlighting a challenging relationship with time

Do you know what you want?

Reiteration of the self-awareness question
