about

‘Waiting’ addresses issues of toxic masculinity and stigma around mental health in a heartfelt narrative of a loved one’s efforts to reconnect with a young man who lives in isolation for nearly two decades.

lyrics

No was all they said when they turned away and walked out that door
Now all you have left are pieces more broken than before
And they told you not to cry and they told you to hide all your fears
So you locked yourself inside, alone and lost for seventeen years

And I’ve been waiting for you to come out and play
I’m still waiting for you to come out and play

So I snuck through the cellar door in hopes to coax you out of this place
Wandering from room to room, I wondered if I’d recognize your face
As I continued calling out I noticed the empty picture frames
Then there you stood in front of me, a grown man who’d forgotten his own name

You said I’ve been waiting for you to come in and play
I’ve been waiting for you every single day
I said well I’ve been waiting for you to come out and play
I’ve been waiting for you every single day
