Always Waiting Lyrics

My soul is yearning and I'm longing too
See my day time, see me breaking through
My time is coming soon
So I'm waiting, I'll be waiting
For you, my friend

My load ain't burdened that I count me too
My key, my body, all the things that I do
My time is coming soon
So I'm waiting, I'll be waiting
For you, my friend

Ooh, will it stay? Ooh
Ooh, will it break for me?

A toll has taken all the song that's in me
The road they're making won't take me where I should be
My song is coming soon
So I'm waiting, I'll be waiting
Always waiting for you, my friend

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“Perhaps because this is my first album, some of these tracks are a lot older while some were written more recently. ‘Always Waiting’ is probably the newest. I’ve scrapped quite a lot of tracks and I’d never put anything I wasn’t completely happy with on the album, whether it was a fresh one or a track from way back. The album is full of songs that I think fit well together and I feel like this is definitely one of those.”
