My girlfriend and I had been together for about 6 months at the time and it was still real hard for me to get a read on her. One moment we were in love and the other I was scared she would drop me like a bad habit. I was literally "waiting in the living room" one night as she was changing her clothes when I started writing the song. I didn't have a guitar or a piano near so I just wrote first verse in my head.

For all I knew, this girl was gonna walk out of her bedroom all dolled up for a night on town and breakup with me. And the only thing I could do to calm my nerves was to put it to music. Note: not the best solution. I started musing upon all that we could become if she just stuck it out with me. It ended up getting a little pitiful. But hey, that's a big part of me.

We're still together (sometimes it's best to ignore your gut). She even sings on the song. And she wrote a response to my song for her own record called 'Waitin' which uses the same hook. And I sing on that version too. But hers came out before ours and that's when things start getting confusing. How's about that for a Fleetwood Mac-esque web of incestuous musical drama?
