Sitting, Waiting, Wishing...by Jack Johnson

Now I was sitting waiting wishing
that you believed in superstitions
then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
and I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
and in loving somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?

I sing ya songs I dance a dance
I gave ya friends all a chance
putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
and maybe you been through this before
but its my first time
so please ignore
the next few lines cause they're directed at you

I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool
I keep playing your cards
but its not my scene
wont this plot not twist?
I have no place to read?
Keep building me up, then shooting me down
well im already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting

Well if I was in your position
Id put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
and If I was I wouldn't be so cruel
cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?
No I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool, foool


this song hints towards a story of a man who loves a woman very much..but his approaches are denied again and again...the man talks about how they are meant to be together and that even though he loves her, she keeps throwing his love back :shown in the line "building me up, you keep shooting me down". some of the final lyrics state that he is getting tired of loving her while getting nothing in return, and that she is just playing him for a fool.

The song was inspired by one of his friends' pursuit of a woman..
