Another day without you
Another midnight call
Distance ain’t no friend of mine
Another lonesome highway
Another one of our songs
Nothin’ gets you off my mind
But I’m waiting, yeah, I’m waiting
For you to pick up the phone
And tell me that you’re coming home
Yeah I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Every minute of every day
Just to hear you say
“I love you until we’re dead and gone”
So I’m waiting
Through every storm we weather
And through every page that’s torn
I guess missin’ you takes its time
And every minute and mile between us
Keeps me leaning on a prayer to Jesus
Begging for the day you come back home
So I’m waiting, yeah, I’m waiting
For you to pick up the phone
And tell me that you’re coming home
Yeah I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Every minute of every day
Just to hear you say
“I love you until we’re dead and gone”
So I’m waiting
I’m waiting, yeah, I’m waiting
For you to come runnin’ home
So I can hold you in my arms
I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Every minute of every day
Just to hear you say
“I love you until we’re dead and gone”
And I’m gonna love you until we’re dead and gone
So I’m waiting
Longing and Hope Across the Miles
“Waiting” by Bailey Zimmerman captures the raw, aching emotions of separation and the strength it takes to hold on through loneliness. The lyrics paint vivid scenes of late-night calls, empty highways, and the relentless passage of time apart. Each verse emphasizes the emotional weight distance brings, yet never loses sight of the unwavering hope that love will ultimately bring reunion. Zimmerman’s delivery is heartfelt and relatable, portraying a universal story of longing and the patience required when waiting for a loved one to return. The song’s refrain, centered around the desire for a simple, reassuring message—”I love you until we’re dead and gone”—adds depth and sincerity, making “Waiting” resonate with anyone who has faced distance in a relationship.
