Phoebe Bridgers - Waiting Room Lyrics






If you were a teacher, I would fail your class
Take it over and over til you noticed me
If you were a waiting room, I would never see a doctor
I would sit there with my first aid kit and bleed

I want to be the power ballad that lifts you up and hold you down
I wanna be the broken love song that feeds your misery
And I can wish all I want, but it won't bring us together
Plus I know whatever happens to me
I know it's for the better

When broken bodies are washed ashore
Who am I to ask for more, more, more?
But you're breathing in my open mouth
You're the gun in my lips that will blow my brains out

I want to make you drive all night just because I said maybe you should come over
I want to make you fall in love as hard as my poor parents teenage daughter
She'll be the best you ever had if you let her

I know it's for the better...

    It's like the female version of Death Cab For Cutie.

    My heart😩❤️

  12. L.... W....

    Can't get enough of her music!

  13. B.... F....

    this song means a fuck ton to me.

  14. T.... ....

    Funny that she kind of undermines this as being a song you can really tell she wrote at 16, but dammit I'm 25 and could never express my feelings as well as she does in this song. It's so hard accepting someone you want more than anything in the world will never feel the same way about you. Thank you for your incredible artistry, Phoebe.

    T.... ....

    Right?! It's honestly one of my favorite songs of hers. So stinkin' talented

  15. i.... ....

    Sound nerds (I say that lovingly)...Can anyone explain why she has paper taped over her guitar?

    i.... ....

    inflago I’m not an expert but I think most of the guitar’s full bass sound bounce out of the hole so the paper gives a softer, more treble-y sound.

    i.... ....

    to avoid feedback loops

  16. c.... m....

    No way. i didnt know she still played this song

    c.... m....

    I'm giving you a thumbs up just because I know you're a fan of lights

  17. B.... ....

    This song, this voice, this guitar slide... so beautiful.

  18. M.... W....

    Wait a minute....this isn't a fugazi cover. This is nice though.

  19. D.... D....

    Oh god this live version <3

  20. W.... ....

    I’m in love with this sound

  21. J.... ....

    Fake nudes 😍

  22. K.... C....

    Beautiful. Love the sounds from the guitar as well. That guys got some control over that slide

    K.... C....

    Definitely. He's got a pretty decent solo record out now too. Harrison Whitford if you're interested
