The song reflects on the emotional toll of waiting, contrasting the perceptions of time. It beautifully intertwines the dual meanings of waiting, both for someone to get ready and for a decision to embrace love.
We reflect on the passage of time, feeling that each moment stretches endlessly as we sit in a familiar place, surrounded by reminders of the absent person.
In the verses, we describe the physical signs of waiting, such as cold coffee or a cooling cup of tea, symbolizing the emotional toll of the wait. We acknowledge the skepticism of others who mock our devotion, but emphasize that those people do not understand the weight of the promises made.
The chorus highlights the disparity in how time is perceived during this wait, with our feeling that even a single glance can extend the night. The bridge questions whether love's slow pace contributes to our anxiety and longing.
Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of unwavering hope and commitment, as we resolve to continue waiting, regardless of whether the other person arrives. The repeated lines in the outro reinforce this steadfastness, emphasizing that we will remain patient, no matter how long it takes.
