Produced by Konstantin Kersting (Mallrat, The Rubens), with additional production by Jarryd Shuker, “Waiting” is the newest song from Hannah Rosa. Ebbing and flowing, “Waiting” explores the slow fade at the end of a relationship, where memories become foggy and rose-coloured. With mesmerising tenderness, the release of “Waiting” is well worth the wait.
lyrics
Sometimes I wonder,
If my walls caved in, would you rescue me?
Pull me out from the debris and wrap your arms around me?
Ooo
Sometimes I lie awake
Staring into the dark, hearing my weary heart ache for you
Sending Morse code messages through my blood
Ooo
Ooo
Baby I was waiting for so long
I was shutting down
Hoping you’d come around
Sometimes I just can’t recall
The strength in your arms and scent of your skin at all
It’s slipping away from me…
Your smart-arse remarks, curls in your hair
Swagger of your smile and secrets we shared
Your love of Chinese food and board game afternoons
Was once on my mind, but it’s fading all the time
Baby I was waiting for so long
I was shutting down
Hoping you’d come around
If I don’t ask, you can’t refuse
If I don’t speak, you can’t ignore me
Give you options, you might choose
To destroy me
Oh
Baby I was waiting for so long
I was shutting down
Hoping you’d come around
