I think this song is pretty straightforward. It seems that she is being strung along in a relationship with someone who is holding back. Her partner is either waiting to progress in their relationship or to amend something that has gone wrong. Sometimes people may deem it necessary to wait to do these things in their personal life because of life circumstances, but they fail to see the pain that they are causing the other person. When one partner tries to bury their problems or put off important decisions, they selfishly stunt the growth and satisfaction of the other partner. Sharon is sharing the thoughts of the other partner who is being forced to wait on someone who may or may not move forward or change. Frustration, melancholy, and defeat come across in such a beautifully understanding and slightly optimistic tone in this song. It's beautiful.
