I'm Still Waiting

The speaker is waiting for someone he loves, hoping she will come to him and return his feelings. At first, his words sound devoted and reassuring: he says he wants to love her and will not hurt her. As the song continues, however, his longing becomes painful. He calls out, cries, and asks whether she loves him too, while still insisting that he will keep waiting.

Several images make his sadness easy to picture. His heart’s beats are described as being at the beloved’s door, suggesting that his thoughts and feelings are constantly reaching toward her. He says he is “under your spell,” an expression meaning he feels strongly captivated, not literally enchanted. The rain and tears become hard to distinguish, blending the weather outside with his sorrow inside.

There is a small tension in the speaker’s words: he says he “got to go,” yet repeats that he is still waiting. This could show how difficult it is to leave someone he loves, or it may simply express changing feelings in an emotional moment. His promises are sincere as presented, but the lyrics do not tell us why the other person is absent or whether she shares his love. Thus, the song conveys deep devotion alongside uncertainty and loneliness.
