Waiting Minus the G – Original
I wrote this song during my Freshman year of college. Not gonna lie, I’ve grown a lot since writing this song. I went through a lot of heart ache; yet at the same time, a lot of learning. I meant to post this song a long time ago, but better late than never.
“Waiting Minus the G”
Half past four and I’ve been waiting at your door
Can’t stand the rain running down like teardrops on my face
Can’t you see that I’m not well?
I wish that I could break your spell
But you’re too close or too far
You say you want me then you ignore my call
You beg for love but it’s not enough
I can’t map you out anymore
Thoughts fall through, too scared to make my move
Why can’t I express these aching feelings inside
Can’t you see that I’m not well?
Are you even aware?
That you’re too close or too far
You say you want me then you ignore my call
You beg for love, but it’s not enough
I can’t map you out anymore
Half past four and I’m done waiting at your door
Can’t stand the fact that I love you and want you back
Can’t you see that I’m not well?
Do you even care?
That you’re too close and too far
You say you want me then you ignore my call
You beg for love, but that’s not enough
I can’t map you out anymore
Some of you may be curious as to how I came up with this title. The story is I was asking one of my friends to play the song “Waitin” by Landon Austin. I said “The song is called ‘Waitin’..minus the g.” And she literally typed in ‘waiting minus the g’ in my iTunes to look for it. So from then on, my friends and I always joked around saying “Minus the G” after words ending with -ing. Doesn’t seem too funny on this blog, but it definitely is to me…just saying…minus the g.

Okay, I don’t know if you remember me but I used to work with your mother at Blakely, Sokoloff and I believe that I babysat you a time or two. I stumbled across this page following a link your mother posted on her Facebook page. Obviously, it’s been quite a few years since I’ve seen you and I feel like I have taken a huge leap from the picture of you that I have had in my head to the person you are today.
Wow! What a talented young woman you have turned into. You are obviously still trying to find your voice and figure out who you are but you are articulating that process really well. I remember you as being quite a shy young girl. I hope that that shyness does not keep you from opening yourself up and expressing how you feel because, based on what I’ve read and from the music I’ve listened to on this site, your particularly unique way of seeing things is something that should not be shut down.
Your parents must be very proud of you and I hope that the happiness and success that you are looking for finds you. Thank you for sharing.
