==Overview== | |||
"Waiting For You" was originally written around January of [[1994]], according to the [[Catalog O' Riffs]], in close proximity to the writing of the songs [[Susanne]] and [[Getchoo]]. The demo from this era appeared on the compilation ''[[Alone III]]'', released in 2011. During the writing of the ultimately-scrapped concept album, ''[[Songs From the Black Hole]]'', the song's lyrics were reworked to be sung from the perspective of the female character, [[Maria]], who becomes pregnant with the child of the main character, [[Jonas]]. The song, with its original lyrics, was eventually released as a b-side on the European CD single release of [[The Good Life]] (also released as an EP in Australia) in [[1996]], as well as the Deluxe Edition of ''[[Pinkerton]]'' in [[2010]]. | |||

<poem>[MARIA:] | |||
Why haven't you called me | |||
did you forget me | |||
I need to know | |||
When were you intending | |||
to break the silence | |||
and let me know | |||
mine is the loneliest of numbers | |||
and now is the loneliest of times | |||
I'm 19 days late | |||
but still I sit and wait | |||
Waiting and waiting | |||
Waiting and waiting | |||
Waiting and waiting | |||
Waiting on you | |||
Who have you been seeing | |||
That made you forget me | |||
I bet you call her | |||
Where where does she come from | |||
I bet it's New England | |||
I bet she's just a friend | |||
I asked you if you had a good heart | |||
[JONAS:] | |||
I answered "Yes I'll never do you harm"</poem> | |||
