Cover art for The Transition lyrics by Hawthorne Heights

To me, it means like, as said above, a past relationship went bad, but they still like each other. So, they decide to give it another try, when the time is right, so they're saying they'll wait for them, and when that said person does come around to wanting another relationship, they're hoping the other doesn't change because they liked them as how they were then.

Pretty simple, I think. It describes what I'm going through perfectly, now. Lol.
