Story Behind The Song

Waiting on Love As the saying goes, "you move - you lose." Well, like the Beatles pointed out if you wait too long, you're gonna lose that girl... There's a tongue-in-cheek nature to "Waiting on Love" along with an upbeat rock'n soul sound. "I wrote the music and recorded the basic tracks a long time ago in the garage of a house we owned in the San Francisco Bay Area. This place was great for music (acoustically) so long as the mice and other long-tailed friends didn't munch on your cables," comments JD. "I look back at phrases like "I might be older, but I don't pretend to be wiser" and think, whoa...that was twenty years ago...talk about not knowing what you don't know.

Lyrics

Waiting on Love

The first time I knew love, it was anything but easy
There were so many things I did not know
Trying to be so cautious, tried to be so careful
Sometimes you just don't know what you don't know

If you hesitate, you might just lose her
You'll never really know
You'll slip, stumble, waiting on love to find you
It might just slip right through your hands

The next time I tried love, it was a little bit easier
But there were still some things a man must learn
She was oh so lovely, everything so special
But I had bridges I just had to burn

When you hesitate, you know that you will lose her
That's something you will learn as you go
If you slip, stumble, waiting on love to find you
It slips right through your hands

I know that road is long, and I know it may be rocky
You've got to read the signs along the way, and don't let her slip away

I might be older, but I don't pretend to be wiser
There were some things a man must still learn
I found a special woman, but I had to take some chances
There were some bridges I just had to burn

When you hesitate, you know you'll lose her
When you hesitate, you know she's gone
When you hesitate, so much can happen
Don't let it all go wrong, no no

Now don't you slip, stumble, waiting on love to find you
