“Waiting for my ride”
we are on our own ride; Jesus is floating outside of our individual world trying to get our attention to realize the truth and follow him he’s “shining down” on us; but we are on “our own ride”.
we’re “watching the water rise”
things are getting pretty bad troubles are mounting time is running out,
“cry all your tear drops on me”
is the same as some of the things Jesus said about laying our troubles and burdens on him.
“While I’m still myself”
could refer to somebody who hasn’t had the opportunity to meet Jesus yet ”still asleep” and become a new person reborn in spirit; hence “still myself” doing what he wants sinning and not understanding ”still asleep” but who’s sins are covered by Grace; “your blankets covered me”.
On a side note it also speaks to me of the struggle of the journey
that comes after when a person has accepted Jesus into their heart and have become a new person reborn in spirit; but are still struggling with the flesh, temptation, the ways of the world and the old self “still myself”, “your Blankets covered me”
Just my Ideas of what the song was saying to me.
