Wye Oak - Watching The Waiting Lyrics

I secretly like music like this🖤

God she is beautiful.

These two are amazingly talented musicians but when you delve into Jenn's lyrics, you realize you've come across pure songwriting genius.

Isso que é música de verdade!

[Verse 1]
When I made my plan
There were some things for which I did not account
I could not have seen myself here
In a place I've been before
Seeing everything all over
As if I could really know
As if I am sure
And you say it's about time
But you know I'm not used to having enough

[Chorus]
And there is nowhere I need to go
And there is nothing left to do
And I am sitting watching myself
Watching you
Watching the waiting

[Verse 2]
When I move to stand
My muscle memory is keeping me up
Real memory is also similarly cruel
To see his face in front of me
Out of the blue, for no reason at all
And I don't suppose
I'll be able to tell him how sorry I am
But like the guard settles in for another long night
I keep watch for a danger and I may not recognize
But I keep my eyes open

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
All I know is this
There are times when, to me
You seem to glow from within
And I wonder how this moment could possibly be
And how much was of my choosing
And what chose me
And I couldn't care less
When it all adds up
And I feel I am closest to what I really am

[Chorus]
And there is nowhere I need to go
And there is nothing left to do
And I am sitting watching myself
Watching you
Watching the waiting

Chrissy McVie and Fleetwood Mac (sounds like)

🤩🤩🤩

The talent Wye Oak has is nothing short of a miracle

it does get better every time I watch

I feel like I connect with this song on an atomic level.

adore this song. gets me in a writing mood. but the vid is super bizarre. i mean i get being "different" but yikes.

Joni Mitchel wannabe.

algún latino que le guste este tipo de música?

Yo 🙋🏻‍♂️

Chile aquí 😁

Goodness, I love Jenn. What a beautiful woman. The talent, the soul, the smile. *sigh*

That woman is super talented AND has a nice ass. = )

Did I mention I fooled around and fell in love with this song?...posting is alr at ny jets hampur...

at first I was like...but this song has just stayed with me...and loving it...

1:51 right on

Holy holy holy shit this is good.

goddamn this song hurts my heart

Hurts my ears

Definitely one of the best songs to come out in 2016, easily.

Chad Every it is the theme to my soul now.

Alguém do Brasil escutando uma boa musica?

am i the only one that thinks andy looks like JJ Abrams

The entire Tween album is stunning. I had never heard of this group before but they sold me on the strength of Tween.

I will now be mining their back catalogue on iTunes

I love them so muchhhhh! my heart hurts

reminds me of a mix of Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel

this reminds me a lot of The Shins. Very good.

THEYRE BACK

what is that 6/8?

This video has some 90s Matilda vibes. Love this band

Yeah, that's totally what I had in mind! A little bit of Rusted Roots feeling in this. Enjoyable and lovable on every aspects.

Wye Oak on some sort of 80s kick? Yes, please.

More like early 90s alternative folk for me

Oh Wye Oak, I'd love to watch you watch me watching this!

jenn listens to one roisin murphy song, makes this. thank god

senti saudades <3

Newnesss!!!!!!! YEEESS!!!

So perfect

Wye Oak is the substitution for drugs in the evening and cold water on my face in the morning

TRUE FANS KNOW. Nothing will compare to the 1st record ...
Still mucho love <3

I'd love to hear them play If Children Were Wishes at their next show.

If they play anything off their first album on this current tour, I might just die of happiness at the show.

Haha. That would definitely be a treat.

this band gives zero fucks 😉

Well, well, well. LQQkie at what we have here. I couldn't wait for the CD release. Downloaded from iTunes without listening to a song (I knew it would be great). Hope to see you two in Louisville, KY soon. 2014 was fun at The Zanzabar!

Wye Oak! O//

¿you will come to Mexico City again? ♡

FUCK YES OH NY GOD THE EXCITEMENT

So good! Great job, all!

Can't wait for your tour kickoff June 16 in Connecticut!

You're finally back! :)

Wow, this was beautiful. The video and the song are both so well done. I really love the symbolism in the video and how personal it is. Wye Oak continues to be one of my favorite bands.

Yeah.
