Songfacts®:

  • "Stop Waiting" is a love song that takes us on a wild ride through singer Greg Gonzalez's infatuation. During the two verses, we learn that his love interest, with a taste for white wine and recreational thrills, has got him wrapped around her finger. And when they hit the beach, things get steamy as she takes scissors to her yellow-strapped swimsuit!
  • After the two verses, we get to the chorus, which gives more details about the nature of their relationship.

    I could win, I could lose
    But that's a look I can't refuse
    I could win, I could lose
    But that's a look I can't refuse
    Stop waiting


    Gonzalez is caught in her spell; whether he wins or loses, he can't resist that tempting look in her eyes. He's stuck in the game, yearning for the woman's commitment, but addicted to the thrill of chasing her.
  • Greg Gonzalez wrote and produced the sensual slow-burn himself and plays acoustic and electric guitar. He is backed by his Cigarettes After Sex bandmates bassist Randall Miller and drummer Jacob Tomsky.
