“Waiting For It” is a Mid-Tempo and R&B influenced song by singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding recorded for her fifth studio album, Higher Than Heaven.
It’s one of the slowest moments in the album, and lyrically one of the most explicit. Ellie herself called it “just a song about sex”, and she’s r...
[Intro]
I've waiting for it, waiting for it (Ooh)
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it (Ooh)
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it, oh
[Verse 1]
My porcelain skin
Bottles and mirrors
Don't know where we both end
And were we begin
Original sin
Only linen and liquor
We got moves that only me and you do
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody talkin' 'cause we started somethin'
We can fuck the world away, world away
I've been reconditioned into new positions
Never meant to be the same, be the same
[Chorus]
I've been waiting for it, waiting for it (Ooh)
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it (Ooh)
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it, oh
[Verse 2]
Pourin' you in my cup
Lеt it drip on my fingers
But it's never еnough
I want it again
In a sepia dream
In and out of your focus
Keep your vintage champagne
I'm only drunk on you
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody talkin' 'cause we started somethin' (We started somethin')
We can fuck the world away, world away (Mm, mm)
I've been reconditioned into new positions (Yeah)
Never meant to be the same, be the same (To never be the same)
[Chorus]
I've been waiting for it, waiting for it (Ooh)
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it (Ooh)
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it, oh
[Bridge]
(Waiting for you lately)
I'm waiting for you, waiting for you to make a move
(Waiting for you lately)
Ooh, I've been waiting for you, now I've got it
(Waiting for you lately)
I've been waiting for this, waiting for this for so long
(Waiting for you lately)
[Chorus]
Oh, I've been waiting for it, waiting for it (Waiting for it)
Waiting for it and now I've got it (Oh, now I've got it)
Waiting for it, waiting for it (Waiting for you, baby)
Waiting for it and now I've got it
Waiting for it, waiting for it (Ooh)
Waiting for it and now I've got it (Been waiting for so long)
Waiting for it, waiting for it, oh

It’s just a song about sex. There’s not really much else to it. I was giggling in the booth as it’s not really my thing to be singing, ‘Everybody talking ’cause we started something/We can fuck the world away.’ It’s that escape of something being so sexually electric and powerful. It’s definitely mo...
