The song "Waiting For You" by Jordan Pruitt is about the experience of falling in love unexpectedly and feeling the intense emotions that come with it. The lyrics reflect the protagonist's initial resistance to letting their guard down ("Well I'm not the type to hand my heart over") and their surprise at feeling vulnerable ("Thought I was stronger"). Despite their reluctance, the protagonist cannot deny the strong connection they feel with the person they are falling for. They describe the nervousness and breathlessness that overcomes them when this person is near, and the way their feelings consume them ("I get nervous, I get breathless when you're here next to me"). The chorus conveys a sense of urgency and impatience. The protagonist acknowledges that some people wait a lifetime to experience this kind of love, but they are not willing to wait any longer. They express a desire to take a chance and pursue the relationship while it is still possible, emphasizing that they don't want to be kept waiting. The second verse shows the protagonist's concern and longing for the person they are falling for. They express frustration at not being able to reach them, questioning if everything is alright. The lyrics depict the protagonist's anxiousness and fear of losing the connection they have with this person. The message of the song is about seizing the opportunity for love and not being afraid to take risks. The protagonist recognizes that some people wait for something better to come along, but they are not afraid to make mistakes and are willing to take their chance at love.
