Rex Orange County - Waiting Room Lyrics






Our family reunion
I'd rather be anywhere but here
It's like a pain you should ignore
But my uncle's here to open the door and I don't like him
This family reunion
I felt so uncomfortable, I left
They all decided to stay
So it's just me and my mistakes
And I'd like to know that you smile when you're alone
And when you need time to yourself
Remember me, I won't be anyone else
I'm just the boy you love
I'm just the boy

And my lover, my best friend
When I heard that you don't know why you're here
I fell face down
And became one with the ground
And my lover's best friend
No, he doesn't know what to suggest
He does everything for love
But when his "everything" just isn't enough
He'd like to know that you smile when you're alone
And when you need time to yourself
Remember me, I won't be anyone else
I'm just the boy you love
The boy... you love

And if it looks like you don't love me then
That's alright and I would let you be content
I'm still your friend
No revenge and no regrets
No regrets, no regrets

And if it looks like God might judge me
Then I don't even wanna stay another day
Cause if he's the one, then who am I?
He calls the shots
And he always decides
What's the point in living life
Living life... when it's all for him...
All for him

Rex Orange County Waiting Room Comments
  1. D.... R....

    I really like that 3:10 bit

  2. D.... A....

    The last 2 minutes of this song hurt me on a level I didn’t even know I had

    In my opinion the most underrated Rex Orange County song

  3. S.... B....

    Just broke up with my girlfriend Bc she recently cheated on me, but me and my best friend were talking in the car and we both broke down to each other in the car and I just want to say this song will always place a special place in my heart. For any of you guys going through it it’ll pass one day I’m sure of it.

  4. L.... P....

    Lyrics:






    *are on google*

  5. H.... R....

    i hope you noticed how the beat is just gwen stefani's hollaback girl chorus

  6. C.... B....

    Wait, this isnt Fugazi

  7. j.... w....

    Good song

  8. J.... C....

    the beginning reminds me of Magic Time, by The Ballroom
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDKFRVa82R0

  9. N.... K....

    when he hums it brings me a huge sense of comfort...ugghh i love this song!<3

  10. M.... D....

    I just love how this song just gives me nostalgia about something I haven’t even lived. This dude is just underrated and for good reason, he’s a secret treasure waiting to be found only by those who want to

  11. L.... S....

    VOCÊ É PERFEITO. ENTENDA DE UMA VEZ!

  12. T.... ....

    잘하네 허

  13. c.... ....

    bye i’m the 100th comment 🥰🥰

  14. J.... L....

    I feel like this is a weird thing to say but I'm tripping right now because the last two-thirds of this song were my literal exact thoughts when my girlfriend broke up with me three months ago. The pain, the contentedness, the regrets under screams of "no regrets", and finally questioning if God really cares. Intense I know but shit man. Rex Orange County really gets at that raw emotion shit like no one else.

  15. P.... R....

    Im here bc of my good taste in music ~uh Lala~

  16. C.... H....

    Gets better as it goes on, reyt tune 🤙

  17. E.... S....

  18. D.... V....

    "And if it looks like you don't love me then, thats alright and I will let you be content. I'm still your friend no revenge and no regrets."

    That line hit me like Regina George getting hit by that bus in Mean Girls.😔😂

  19. L.... ....

    This man is going to become big out there one day, and I will say that I was one of the first to predict.

  20. P.... E....

    This is my favourite music

  21. A.... L....

    I.Love.Him

  22. S.... o....

    Shake me down not a lot of ppl left around oh it’s not.. oh

  23. N.... ....

    i feel like this song just makes you remember the first time you heard it.

  24. c.... r....

    Half of the views are from me. Jesus I'm obssesed with this song.

  25. P.... M....

    Alex is going to be huge one day.

  26. c.... r....

    What a coincidence. This song starts playing as our family renuinion is ruined. My uncle just left, my sister and I are just crying here, whilst listening to this song.

  27. T.... ....

    I still love you Madeleine Bliss, and my broken heart remembers you every day.

  28. J.... P....

    he deserves a bigger audience );

  29. J.... C....

    I Love This Sooong

  30. S.... H....

    Our family reunion
    I'd rather be anywhere but here
    It's like a pain you shouldn't ignore
    But my uncle's here to open the door, and I don't like him
    This family reunion
    I felt so uncomfortable, I left
    They all decided to stay
    So it's just me and my mistakes
    And I'd like to know that you smile when you're alone
    And when you need time to yourself
    Remember me, I won't be anyone else
    I'm just the boy you love
    I'm just the boy
    And my lover, my best friend
    When I heard that you don't know why you're here
    I fell face down
    And became one with the ground
    And my lover's best friend
    No, he doesn't know what to suggest
    He does everything for love
    But when his "everything" just isn't enough
    He'd like to know that you smile when you're alone, (mh mh)
    And when you need time to yourself, (mh mh)
    Remember me, I won't be anyone else
    I'm just the boy you love
    The boy, you love, uhh
    And if it looks like you don't love me then
    That's alright and I would let you be content
    I'm still your friend
    No revenge and no regrets
    No regrets, no regrets
    And if it looks like God might judge me
    Then I don't even wanna stay another day
    If he's the one, then who am I?
    He calls the shots
    And he always decides
    Then what's the point in living life?
    Living life, when it's all for him
    All for him, all, all for him, all for him

  31. V.... C....

    Vim pelo Wanderson

  32. M.... H....

    This is a joke, right?

    M.... H....

    Manuel Hernandez your a joke right ?

  33. Z.... J....

    The beginning kinda sounds like hollaback girl lol

    Z.... J....

    Zoë Jenkins I thought I was the only one who realized lmaooooo

  34. S.... S....

    This song is sooo good

  35. b.... w....

    Is there a song where some one sings with as much pain in their voice as 3:10

    b.... w....

    Most of his songs

    b.... w....

    Dear God by logic

  36. c.... r....

    AGHH I love this. Everything is so honest. His voice is calming and so beautiful. The instruments are *on point.* This is so underrated. I listen to this song religiously.

    c.... r....

    cAn'T rELaTe I love your profile picture

    c.... r....

    @Unini Gboyah thx:)

  37. K.... P....

    This song shifted in 3 different directions.

    1. Socially cutting yourself off from a family you hate
    2. Breaking up with a girl and staying just friends
    3. Questioning god himself

    K.... P....

    only rex orange county could accomplish that.

    K.... P....

    Just a normal Tuesday for me

    K.... P....

    Thats how bored i get at family reunions. I let ,y brain go off in a million directions

    K.... P....

    Katia Prameswari I thought his gf's best friend loves her and he's talking from his perspective

  38. L.... L....

    My skin: clear
    My depression: cured
    My anxiety: cured
    My anorexia: gone
    Yee: haw

    L.... L....

    Hotel: Trivago

  39. T.... B....

  40. M.... H....

  41. N.... K....

    Is he a baritone?

    N.... K....

    Nate K I’m pretty sure he is I really idk

  42. M.... M....

    great song

  43. J.... C....

    This is the most underrated song on the album

  44. s.... w....

    this song reminds of one boy.

  45. T.... Y....

    How does this song have so few views and comments?!?! Such a slap

  46. g.... b....

    I’ve been listening to his music for about 3-4 months now. He’s not necessarily big yet but once he is, I’m gonna be glad to say that I was here from the beginning. Everyone’s gonna be tagging along for the clout. But I’m here for the music. His music is real, not overly edited crap that doesn’t come with real emotion.

    g.... b....

    Bro ur not special because you found their music earlier than someone else. Some of my favorite bands I found through either popularity or through a friend that listened to them before me

    g.... b....

    Who tf is gonna pretend they listen to his music for clout you aren't special.

    g.... b....

    check back on him now :/

    g.... b....

    @Sophia Biel Cadorna ikr :(

  47. a.... F....

    Rexxxx won't stop and can't stop making ppl love him!💛💛💛

  48. T.... J....

    Most underrated song on album by far

  49. a.... F....

    How are they not famous!!! 🤧🤧

    our family reunion
    i'd rather be anywhere but here
    it's like a pain you should ignore
    but my uncle's here to open the door and i don't like him
    this family reunion
    i felt so uncomfortable, i left
    they all decided to stay
    so it's just me and my mistakes
    and i'd like to know that you smile when you're alone
    and when you need time to yourself
    remember me, i won't be anyone else
    i'm just the boy you love
    i'm just the boy

    and my lover, my best friend
    when i heard that you don't know why you're here
    i fell face down
    and became one with the ground
    and my lover's best friend
    no, he doesn't know what to suggest
    he does everything for love
    but when his "everything" just isn't enough
    he'd like to know that you smile when you're alone, (mh mh)
    and when you need time to yourself, (mh mh)
    remember me, i won't be anyone else
    i'm just the boy you love
    the boy... you love

    and if it looks like you don't love me then
    that's alright and i would let you be content
    i’m still your friend
    no revenge and no regrets
    no regrets, no regrets

    and if it looks like god might judge me
    then i don't even wanna stay another day
    'cause if he's the one, then who am i?

    living life... when it's all for him...
    all for him

    i.... c....

    im cool thanks!! I was scrolling through the comment section for this 😂

    i.... c....

    pretty cool
    Great job

    i.... c....

    some are wrong but thanks

  51. k.... r....

    pretty ✨

  52. H.... L....

    what a treasure

  53. v.... r....

    i love all of his songs sm !!

  54. H.... I....

    Is this about a friend or a significant other?
    Is it about a tragedy or a metaphor of a tragedy?
    Is this told in rex's perspective?
    Who is he? God?
    Fan theories are welcomed

    H.... I....

    Honestly, I don't not care definitely told in Rex’s perspective. I think this song is him thinking to himself.. and it might be called waiting room bc you think of the most random stuff when you stuck somewhere like a...”waiting room”

  55. z.... ....

    most underrated song ever

  56. J.... M....

    Lyrics are a bit scattered

    J.... M....

    Joseph M I think it’s that way on purpose.. random like the thoughts you have when you’re stuck in a waiting room?? 🤔

    J.... M....

    Jeysiah Camba-Penera that’s deep.

  57. A.... D....

    "No regrets"

  58. R.... R....

    So Christianly eske .?

  59. R.... R....

    "I'm getting bored of being akward" perhaps the most honest line. Maybe he knew he was playing 'quirky' 'subculture' before; now he actually wants to feel. He's grasping for real. Nothing phont, most idie isn't even real it's fabricated for fame. Here it sounds like he actually wants a meaning for living. For writing music, art. He's on his grand mission This album.

    R.... R....

    Ryan Roddy don’t think that’s what that means but hey, who am I to say

    R.... R....

    Ryan Roddy you’re right, I think Rex truly is an awkward, “weird” guy, whereas a lot of indie artists use it merely as part of their image.

    R.... R....

    Well said

  60. m.... o....

    i love this album

  61. A.... ....

    Wtf, this is too underrated to be true (don't want posers still but WHAT AND WHY) he deserves waaaay better, hopefully he gets more recognition so he can get money and tour in the US :)

    A.... ....

    Andreavs1209 he comes to the US.

  62. J.... f....

    Something about how unplanned his music is, how raw it is, really touches my soul when I feel alone.

    J.... f....

    I've only found this guys music today. I needed to cry and process some stuff or idk just think about things and cry but I couldn't have felt more blessed to have done it with him aha

  63. A.... P....

    Este vato es la vrga, ojala sus videos mas famosos se llenen de posers para que le den la fama que necesita y tenga el presupuesto para hacer musica por siempre y algún día llegue a mi ciudad :'v

  64. M.... -....

    This man is gonna become big one day

    M.... -....

    Ever since Tyler took him in he has been getting bigger. It’s just a matter of time ❤️

    M.... -....

    he's finally getting the recognition he deserves now yay (he's on Ellen today)

    M.... -....

    this aged nicely

    M.... -....

    He was on Ellen recently

  65. J.... C....

    This song is one of my favorite , so greatful I found this great artist .

  66. A.... a....

    When I hear his songs I get that feeling in my chest then just feel the need to tear up

  67. A.... a....

    Greatest artist!

  68. H.... C....

    becomes great
