You want your independence
But you won't let me let you go
You wanna test the waters
And leave it on the empty shores

But I'll take my time if you want to
And I'll give you whatever you need
And I'll wait a lifetime to give it to you
Give it to you

You think that you?re the sun
The whole world revolves around you
The center of attention
And everything is drawn to you

But I'll take my time if you want to
And I'll give you whatever you need
And I'll wait a lifetime to give it to you
Give it to you

I would wait a lifetime
And I would wait for you
I would wait a lifetime
And I would wait for you

But I'll take my time if you want to
And I'll give you whatever you need
And I'll wait a lifetime to give it to you
Give it to you

    I think this song is about a guy who likes a girl (could be a guy), but she doesnt notice him in that way. His feelings for her are taking over his world. He might of told her how he feels, and she probably said she wants her "independence" but she gives him hope anyway; hope that it'll all change and she'll fall for him too. "You wanna test the waters And leave it on the empty shores" - I think this demonstrates perfectly how much she thinks of herself. She could possibly love the attention he gives to her so much, that she leads him on purposly so he'll stick around, even though its at the cost of his feelings. "But I’ll take my time if you want to And I’ll give you whatever you need And I’ll wait a lifetime to give it to you Give it to you

    You think that you’re the sun The whole world revolves around you The center of attention And everything is drawn to you"

    • He loves her so much, that even though what she's doing to him is wrong, he can't escape...
