I really am diggin this song. I love and enjoy the album, but because i've noticed it, this song is what i'm feeling at the moment. You can't be sure what they were meaning or thinking about while writing this song... but here's what I think about it lol. It's like a relationship with two people who are distant and disconnected. (possibly already separated, or maybe not. whatever the case...) Maybe 'his' partner isn't ''doing what's right'', ''making the right choices'', doing things that are affecting them both and making hurtful mistakes. Maybe the parter is living a frivolous life, being associated with 'bad' people and bad things, disguised as friendly, good and important. When really these 'bad' people might be their downfall in some way. - ''All your enemies smile when you fall''. This person takes it cause they ''don't know what they want,''. Don't know how to accept what's good or bad. And also take 'it', while taking for granted the person waiting on them. Hurting and wasting the time of the one that loves them, maybe dragging them along or using them in some way - "All this love of mine, all my precious time''.
I really haven't understood yet what lines like ''taking nova baby to the dollar machine'' or ''there go the kids, the have-nots, elevater ladies in the parking lots'' mean, but lines like the first verse, and ''that party dress is such a mess'', ''you saw it all and I recall the dream you told me'', have personal meanings for me. That I could explain but won't. I suppose the easiest way I see it is, that this song is about a person waiting and waiting then eventually getting fed up with waiting on a person who doesn't know what they're doing with their life, love, emotions, and actions and what they want out of it. I assume in the context of the song - love, a strong/true 'relationship', sacrifice, and some worth-while-ness. ''You'll need me one day, need me one day soon.''

The only line I can't figure out is taking nova baby to the dollar machine, the only thing I can think of was cashing in on stardom, or trading in beauty or talent for quick cash instead of working towards the bigger dream she had. As far as the other two lines , "there go the kids, the have nots;" likely the runaways, or broke youth wandering around "elevator ladies in the parking;" these would be prostitutes, they go down. That whole verse would be about how she either lived on the bad side of town, or witnessed it and...
