This is yet another song about rejection and obsession. The lyric doesn't require much explanation and isn't that memorable. The person you were waiting for didn't call or show up. It's a straightforward song with a nice melody. Dan plays the main guitar. I can't remember which of us did the brief solo.

I waited for you that day in July.
I waited for you. I thought you'd arrive
I was much younger back then.
I thought you meant what you said.

I waited for you. I thought you would come.
And when you did not, I really was stunned.
I was just way too naïve.
And you were a G-d I believed.

I waited for you. You did not come through.
Yeah I waited. I waited for you.v I still remember that pain.
And I'd only myself to blame

And now I know that I won't wait again.
You have taught me that waitings don't end.
Thank you for teaching me this.
Think of all the good times I've missed.
