For You
Patiently Waiting: Unveiling the Heartfelt Tale in Young Douglas' 'For You'
Lyrics
Do you know what you're doing cause he's been long gone
The listener might not understand the consequences of their actions as someone else has departed long ago.
And while he's busy fooling he won't be here for long
While the listener is occupied with deceiving, their time with someone else won't last.
Times are a-changin' and my time's a-wastin'
There's a shift in circumstances, and the singer feels like their time is being wasted.
And don't you know that I'll still be here patiently waiting
Despite this, the singer will remain, showing patience and waiting for the listener.
For you
The singer expresses their commitment to waiting for the listener.
Don't you realize now that I wont be leaving
The singer emphasizes their decision to not leave, driven by empathy rather than logic.
It's because I empathize, I ain't got no rhyme or reason
There's no clear explanation for the singer's decision to stay.
Times are a-changin' and my time's a-wastin'
Reiteration of the changing circumstances and the singer's feeling of time being wasted.
It wont be long 'til I've moved on from patiently waiting
Implying that the singer won't wait indefinitely and will eventually move on.
For you
Reaffirmation of the singer's dedication to waiting for the listener.
For you
-For you
-For you
-Now the times gone by and I'm already long gone
The singer has already moved on, and time has passed.
Well you took your time and I'm through with singing my song
The listener delayed, causing the singer to stop expressing themselves through song.
Times are a-changin' and my time's a-wastin'
Continued emphasis on changing times and the singer's feeling of wasted time.
Now I'm gone and I've moved on from patiently waiting
The singer has moved on and stopped patiently waiting.
For you
Reiteration of the singer's initial commitment to waiting for the listener.
For you
-For you
-For you
-For you
Repetition indicating the singer's dedication to the listener despite having moved on.
For you
-For you
-For you
