| I think this songs about love. He's talking to a trying to show her how much he wants to love her and show her the best things in life. Its a that hes known for a long time and shes lost trust in him, and he wants her to come back. He says "Ive been fooled by the illusions in my head" he means that he was the wrong person when he first made the mistake of making her angry. But the he says "You took me anywhere i wanted to go" he then talks like it never happened and hes left alone. So its almost as if he's looking at both sides of the coin, saying whats it gonna be like if i go back with her and whats it gonna be like if i dont. Relationships are tough, and this song makes total sense when talking about them. | |

| I agree with lacunacoil86 on the song meaning. The song is called "Waiting" because the singer is waiting to reunite with a past lover. The lyrics pretty much speak for themselves. He's saying that he'd do anything to get her back and that he needs her "I've been waiting for you to capture my imagination, 'cause I've been fooled by the illusions in my head". - She's the only one that can fix up his head, and quite possibly, the illusions in his head are of them being back together again. And to what Kimber-Leigh said, I can totally relate to that, this song hit me like a punch in the face. | |

| Such a good song!! the line that hit me was "cause I've been fooled by the illusions in my head In my head " illusions of them being together and the allusions seem so real that he acts on them and finds out that they are not real, and he is never able to do that. Its only a dream.... | |

| This song in my opinion is talking about the longing one has for a previous lover. all the memories of their past and its driving him crazy realizing that he let the love slip away and wants another chance to prove to her that he can Make it RIght.........it goes along with the theory about how you dont realize how much you miss someone until their gone, and so after losing her once he will wait as long as it takes to have her back | |

| The most meaningful song to me right now. Definitley what I call a soundtrack of life, one of those songs that describes exactly that you're feeling at a certain time. It's describes a person who never leaves your mind and the hope one holds on to no matter how over the relationship may be. | |

| I agree with most of whats been said but i want to make another point, the song is called "Waiting," and its as if he will always, or always has been waiting. a key note is that unlike the lyrics above (i understand the need to get rid of redundancy) the last like is "and ive been fooled by the illusions in my head," which is repeaded three times. to sum it up he had a lover, did something to drive her away (to me it seem as if he dumped her, rather than a fidelity issue) and now he wants her back but she has moved on never to return. he keeps trying to be optimistic and believe she will come back but in the back of his mind he knows she wont be coming back. | |
