Waiting Lyrics
Somethings
I should of known to see coming
And why is it such a burden?
And why can't I make it leave?
And it's funny that
If I don't forgive it'll kill me
So, how can I skip the time I need
To stop the remembering
Cause I wanna
And I need, uhh
Waiting, waiting
I'm trying
To get out, to get out
But I'm locked right in
So take this, take this
Away from me
So I can live
So I can live
We all get there
Years go by, we forget to care
Cause years went by and there's more despair
The cards are dealt and received
And it builds up (and it builds up)
Wears me down, it's monotonous
My personality's colorless
Becoming bland and asleep
And I hate it, that I'm stuck here
(Wasting time)
Waiting, waiting
I'm trying
To get out, to get out
But I'm locked right in
So take this, take this
Away from me
So I can live
So I can live
Ohh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
Waiting, waiting
I'm trying
To get out, to get out
But I'm locked right in
So take this, take this
Away from me
So I can live
So I can live
So I can live
Cause I need to live
Cause I need to live
I should of known to see coming
And why is it such a burden?
And why can't I make it leave?
If I don't forgive it'll kill me
So, how can I skip the time I need
To stop the remembering
And I need, uhh
I'm trying
To get out, to get out
But I'm locked right in
Away from me
So I can live
So I can live
Years go by, we forget to care
Cause years went by and there's more despair
The cards are dealt and received
Wears me down, it's monotonous
My personality's colorless
Becoming bland and asleep
(Wasting time)
I'm trying
To get out, to get out
But I'm locked right in
Away from me
So I can live
So I can live
Ohh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
I'm trying
To get out, to get out
But I'm locked right in
Away from me
So I can live
So I can live
So I can live
Cause I need to live
Cause I need to live

"and it builds me up, wears me down because it's monotonous" are the correct lyrics. great song.
Its probably about leaving your burdens and worrys with God and have him take care of it, "So I can live"!
i love this song.. why hasn't anyone commented it?
I think the song is talking about the general idea of forgiving and forgetting. Hence the line "If I don't forget it will kill me... and to stop the remembering." He's saying that it is hard to always forget when you forgive someone. In this song, it sounds like something that is quite difficult to forget. Another idea is similar to smurfpiss. He's talking about how if you let regret and burdens build up without reaching for God, you will lose yourself in regret. That's my basic take. Oh, and the song is awesome!
to me it is clearing about forgiving, i can relate to this song on such a level. that feeling how you want to forgive but you just can't let it go. how you ask god to help. how when you don't forgive your basically stuck, and that not forgiving hurts yourself away. that feeling of not moving on cause because you just won't forgive. how it just eats away at you. bryce is just waiting, becuase thats all he can do to hope to forgive. because forgiveness takes time and he knows that "So, how can I skip the time I need To stop the remembering" he wants to get rid of the burden and just forgive so he can finally live. because when you don't forgive it is a burden that takes a toll on you. well now im just ranting, its just totally get this song.
i think the best line of the song is "If I don't forgive it'll kill me" it is like the main theme of the song to move on you have to forgive.
this is such a good song, musically it is not my favorite, but the lyrics are so good and so true, for anyone who has ever had trouble forgiving someone they must totally be able to understand this song.
