Lyrics
Well, I'm so above you
And it's plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don't mind bleedin'
Any old time, you keep me waitin'
Waitin', waitin'

Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'

Well, your mama kept you
But your daddy left you
And I should've done you just the same
But I came to love you
Am I born to bleed?
Any old time, you keep me waitin'
Waitin', waitin'

Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'

Hey

Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'

Song Meaning page and Q&A Updates!
As announced in our recent roadmap thread, we’re working to introduce another type of Q&A landing page powered by a new thing: community-written “Song meanings”! Song meanings are short, digestible paragraphs that describe the overall meaning behind the lyrics of a song.
