Waiting Game Lyrics
You and me
A little different
Though we tried to stay the same
It never leaves
And when it changes it is still a waiting game
I wait for a lonely breath
I wait to surface from this death
Wait for the light to come
And take away these images I get
In my head
Chorus
More than ever
I need to feel you
More than ever
I see the real you
You are me
A worst disaster would be waking up alone
Now we're free
We're drifting out
Like all the ones we didn't know
I wait for a silent tear
I wait for things to disappear
Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear
If I lose you I don't know
More than ever
I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever
I see the real you
And it's around
Everything, everything
We've had
Out of sight out of mind
Given that
What I see when I dream
Hurts like hell and back

More than ever
I see the real you
A worst disaster would be waking up alone
Now we're free
We're drifting out
Like all the ones we didn't know
I wait for a silent tear
I wait for things to disappear
Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear
If I lose you I don't know
I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever
I see the real you
And it's around
We've had
Out of sight out of mind

I love this song!...one of my favs!!!
i love the bridges I wait for a lonely breath I wait to surface from this death Wait for the light to come And take away these images I get In my head
I love the new CD! It's everything I thought it would be. This has to be in my top 3 from the CD. The strings in the song is so great!
This is an instant favorite of mine. The music is beautiful, and the lyrics are something I think we can all relate to.
Hmm, the meaning of this song is 'grey', uncertain to me, however as i listened to it in my car, I pondered the thought that it could be a spirtual song, about jesus possibly. I don't know their religion so this is purely speculation: "Though we tried to stay the same It never leaves And when it changes it is still a waiting game"
Generally, one to achieve salvation needs to be one with christ, or accept them into their hearts, souls etc, so they become 'one' or the same. Jesus supposedly is with you always, and when, if he leaves, he still waits to be taken to somewhere, (an afterlife).
"I wait for a lonely breath I wait to surface from this death Wait for the light to come And take away these images I get In my head"
It may be a bit of a stretch, but lonely signifies one, or the only, and lonely breath to me means his last breath. Surface from this death, rise above, to heaven. Wait for the light to come, often when encountered with death, people see beams of light coming from heaven. Take away these images i get in my head; he wants to not have to imagine anymore, so he can experience it for himself, not what people draw, or what people say, but wants to see heaven for himself.
"More than ever I need to feel you More than ever I see the real you"
First half relates to physical life, I need to feel you, like they are one, he needs him to be in his heart.
Second half relates to the spirtual life, and now hes in heaven and sees Jesus
"You are me A worst disaster would be waking up alone Now we're free We're drifting out Like all the ones we didn't know I wait for a silent tear I wait for things to disappear Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear If I lose you I don't know"
I think its You and Me, Our worst disaster, but ok aside from that Waking up alone would mean, they are not one, he is no longer 'saved' and another one of Jesus's children would not go to heaven, hence it is a disaster for them both.
Now we're free We're drifting out Like all the ones we didn't know
They're free from their bodies, drifting in the wind, like everyone that had died before them that they didnt get to meet,know.
"I wait for a silent tear I wait for things to disappear Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear If I lose you I don't know" Silent tear refers to death, all is silent when someone dies, and a tear is shed from their loved ones. Everything essentially 'dissappears' from your life, the ground stops moving because he is no longer walking on ground;
He does not know his future if he is not saved.
Everything, everything We've had Out of sight out of mind Given that What I see when I dream Hurts like hell and back
In the end everything he has means nothing, and everything that he could have had hurts like 'hell' and back, which hints at something :P
No, it's a song about going through a breakup, but not wanting to, and just waiting for her to come around, and in the meantime, all you can think about is how much you miss her, and all the things that you did together, at the same time knowing that the only way that you'll ever have a shot at geting her back is to keep it all inside and just wait.
As for the spiritual interpretation, I'm almost entirely positive that that's not the original intent of the song, but I can also see how this song could be personally interpreted thus. Ergo, I could totally worship to this song. A lot like Echo by Trapt, which I personally interpret spiritually even though I know that's not how it was intended.
Someone who escapes my memory but I think it was William Golding or someone like that said that "interpretation just as much if not moreso lies in the hands of the reader as opposed to the author."
