Waiting For You Lyrics

And I tried to be myself (and I’m waiting for you)
And I tried to come around (and I’m waiting for you)
And I’ve tried to leave my way
(and I’m waiting for you, and I’m waiting)
I don’t want to spend the rest of my days
Living in a world confusing to me
I don’t want to have it all
I don’t want to bring the trouble I bring
And I tried to make a start (and I’m waiting for you)
And I tried to come around (and I’m waiting for you)
And I arrived on my own
(and I’m waiting for you, and I’m waiting)
Spend a little bit of time with my baby
Spend a little bit of time with my other half
Spend a little bit of time with my baby
Spend a little bit of time with my other half
And I tried to be myself (and I’m waiting for you)
And I tried to build my home (and I’m waiting for you)
And I tried not to come undone
(and I’m waiting for you)
And in the middle of night, I don’t know who I am
When you turn off the lights, I don’t know where I am
Sometimes at night I just drive around
(and I’m waiting)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Waiting For You lyrics by Rosebuds, The

Pretty cryptic song. I like the sound of it, how it repeats. I think it's a guy who is not satisfied in his relationship, he's confused, it keeps him up at night, etc, and he's waiting for the girl to clarify things.
