its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Some folks, they're ok with living up the road
They don't want to be away from home
From the only people that they know
But but but baby I know that's not you
You make your plans and you follow through
Pack your bags is what you meant to do
But I would never want to make you choose
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for the sun to come up
I'll be waiting for you
There are two, different voices that will talk to you
One's false and the other true
But don't you let it get the best of you
Time is a test when we seperate
My sight is clear and my aim is straight
And it's going to take a lot to break
We're just going to have to give and take
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for the sun to come up
I'll be waiting for you
I know, how fast it gets old
We've come this far before
There's not much more to go till we can see the part
Where the sun melts all the snow
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for the sun to come up
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for the sun to come up
I'll be waiting for you
They don't want to be away from home
From the only people that they know
But but but baby I know that's not you
You make your plans and you follow through
Pack your bags is what you meant to do
But I would never want to make you choose
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for the sun to come up
I'll be waiting for you
There are two, different voices that will talk to you
One's false and the other true
But don't you let it get the best of you
Time is a test when we seperate
My sight is clear and my aim is straight
And it's going to take a lot to break
We're just going to have to give and take
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for the sun to come up
I'll be waiting for you
I know, how fast it gets old
We've come this far before
There's not much more to go till we can see the part
Where the sun melts all the snow
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for the sun to come up
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for the sun to come up
I'll be waiting for you

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
