Today I listened to this song for the first time in a very long time. Instantly I began to believe it's about death and wanting to be missed when we die.

I hope that you like it in your little motel And I hope that the suite sleeps and suits you well Well, I can see it as time and a sight through smell, and That's why it's nice to be by yourself The motel is a coffin. You're just there to sleep.

Cause that's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I? That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, darlin' The only thing we know for sure in life, is that we'll all die. We're all waiting for death.

*We treat mishaps like sinking ships, and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well, I can see it in your eyes, like I taste your lips, and They both tell me that we're better than this" We make things more serious than they are. Little accidents are turned into sinking ships. The person has a hard time realising that he'll die as well as everyone else.

*We trade tit for tat, like that for this And I don't think that there was an insult that was missed I can see it in your eyes, like I taste your lips, and I'm very sorry" We spend our time caring about money and belongings, and we care too much about people insulting us.

It rained, over the remainders of a shooting star Landed directly on our broke-down little car Before that we had made a wish That we would be missed If one or the other just did not exist We all want to be missed when we die.

That's what we're waiting for That's what we're waiting for That's what we're waiting for, aren't we? We'll all die. We're all waiting for it. Maybe it's totally different from what the songwriters thought of, when they wrote the song, but this is what I believe it's about. It's a beautiful song.
