Sitting, Waiting, Wishing Lyrics

Well I was Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs

Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord no I'm just a fool
And a loving somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you

Aw, maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines 'cause they're directed at you

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery

Keep building it up
But then you're shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute

Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why it had 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 your fool?

No I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool

Jack Johnson explained: "A friend of mine was trying to get this girl, and I tried to write a song that would help him have a laugh at himself because he was spending so much time trying to get her and it obviously wasn't leading anywhere. That was one just to cheer up a friend."

Directed by The Malloy Brothers, the music video was shot in one take and played backwards, a technique pioneered by the director Spike Jonze in his video for "Drop" by The Pharcyde, and used by Coldplay in their video for "The Scientist." The challenge for the performer in these videos is singing the song backwards, which Johnson had to learn.

A number of fans could relate to this shocking account of vocalist Terry Hall being abused by a teacher while on a holiday in France. "The reaction I got from that was brilliant," he told Mojo magazine, "because people would communicate with you saying 'I went through a similar sort of thing.'"
