Call Waiting
Yearning in Silence: Wiz Khalifa's Call Waiting Tale
Lyrics
One time
Expressing a singular moment or occasion.
Yeah, day after day I just stay here
Describing a repetitive routine, waiting for someone consistently.
Waiting for you to get home
Anticipating the return of someone, possibly a significant other.
Lately I been going crazy
Feeling restless or agitated recently.
Can't wait to get in my zone
Excitement about entering a personal state of comfort or familiarity.
Sometimes I can't find your number
Difficulty in reaching the person, possibly suggesting a strained connection.
And there's no one else to call
Expressing a sense of isolation or limited options for communication.
You leave me waiting by the phone
Being left in anticipation, waiting for a response by the phone.
You keep me high, that's for sure
Feeling emotionally elevated and satisfied due to the person being referred to.
But I know, you'll be there when I need you
Confidence in the person's reliability during times of need.
I can't place no one above you
Acknowledging the special significance of the person, placing them above others.
I tried but I can't get enough of your love
Expressing the inability to resist or be satiated with the person's love.
And you're right there for me
Reassurance that the person is consistently supportive.
Said I was just hoping you called
Expressing a desire for the person to initiate contact.
I was just hoping you called
Repetition of the desire for the person to call.
To say that you don't have nothing at all
Hoping for a reassuring call indicating the person is not in distress.
I was just hoping you called
Reiteration of the hope for a call from the person.
They try and try but can't top you
Acknowledging others' attempts but emphasizing their failure to compare to the person.
They think they come close but they fall
Highlighting the inability of others to match the person's significance.
They see me out, give me offers
Receiving external attention or offers without emotional impact.
I don't feel nothing at all
Feeling unaffected by external influences, particularly in the absence of the person.
But I know, you'll be there when I need you
Repetition of confidence in the person's reliability.
I can't place no one above you
Reiterating the unique position of the person in the speaker's life.
I tried but I can't get enough of your love
Emphasizing the insatiable nature of the speaker's love for the person.
And you're right there for me
Reassurance of the person's constant support.
Said I was just hoping you called
Repetition of the desire for the person to initiate contact.
I was just hoping you called
Repetition of the hope for the person to call.
To say that you don't have nothing at all
Reiterating the desire for a reassuring call from the person.
I was just hoping you called
Reiteration of the hope for a call from the person.
Sweet
Concluding with a term of endearment or positive expression.
