Eden84, although songs are open to interpretation and songs can mean different things to different people, I really think your interpretation has gone ascew. . .just a little.

She's upset, waiting for the one she wants to make his first move toward her. It's almost as if they've known for a while that they are interested in eachother, but she wants him to make the first move and he's hesitant about getting caught up in her. She's at a point. "Waiting for the black to replace my blue " Either he makes a move and they start what she believes will be a wonderful relationship, or she starts the process of moving on and trying to forget her feelings for him.

I think you're wrong! I think you could read it either way--as either waiting for someone you really like to make a move or getting impatient with a relationship. I've always interpreted it as waiting for an exciting fling to start, but just now I saw it as beginning to feel the emptiness of an unsatisfying relationship. Your expectations just aren't being fulfilled. "Full is not heavy as empty my love"?? That could very well mean an empty relationship is heavier than a full one.
