Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
I sit and wait for you
The speaker waits for someone.
I know you're not coming back this time
The person being waited for is not expected to return this time.
My heart still breaks for you, I know, that you've only wasted all this time
The speaker's heart still hurts for the person, acknowledging that the person has wasted time.
I watched you die inside that bed
The speaker witnessed the person's decline while lying in bed.
Bright yellow skin; eyes bloodshot red
Describing the physical symptoms of the person - yellow skin and bloodshot eyes.
I think about the life you lived but all the things you never did
Reflecting on the life the person lived and the things they never got to do.
It was like the crash before the burn
Comparing a moment of impending disaster to the point just before.
When the trial ends but the courts adjourned
When the trial is finished but the formal conclusion is delayed.
When the story ends with no page to turn
When a story finishes abruptly without closure.
When I write the song but I hate the verse
Expressing dissatisfaction with one's creative output.
And now you're gone I still face the worst
Despite the person being gone, the speaker still faces the worst moments.
And you're not there to hold my hand
Feeling the absence of the person's support.
When I saw them lift you in that hearse
The emotional impact of witnessing the person being taken away in a hearse.
I thought about my whole life plan
Reflecting on one's life plan after witnessing the departure.
I really wish that you had stayed
Expressing a desire for the person to have stayed.
And all the nights that I had played
Thinking about past experiences or actions during nights.
But all I wanna say is goodnight nan
Expressing a final goodbye to the person.
I sit and wait for you
Repetition of waiting for the person.
I know you're not coming back this time
Reiteration of the belief that the person won't return.
My heart still aches for you I know you've only gone and wasted all this time
Continued emotional pain for the person's wasteful choices.
Yeah, I'll sit and wait for you, yeah
Committing to continue waiting for the person.
But you're not coming back this time
Reaffirmation that the person won't return.
Yeah, I'll sit and wait for you, sit and wait for you
Repeating the commitment to wait.
I'll sit and wait for you
Reiteration of waiting despite knowing the person won't return.
Yeah, I'll sit and wait for you, but you're not coming back this time
Final acknowledgment that the person won't return.
