Just give it to me quick
Are you coming home?
Don't dance around it
I need to hear this
I chose you long ago
Have you chosen me yet?
'Cause I'm starting to wear thin, find it harder to forgive
Every time you let us slip down your list of priorities
I'm waiting for you to say you're here to stay
But darling, if you know that it's through
You can't keep doing what you do
If it's time to let go of you
Now please don't take this wrong
You know I want you
But don't think I won't move on [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kina_grannis/cambridge.html ]
'Cause I can get by on my own
I'll stand without you
Look how I have grown
'Cause I'm starting to wear thin, find it harder to forgive
Every time you let us slip down your list of priorities
I'm waiting for you to say you're here to stay
But darling, if you know that it's through
You can't keep doing what you do
If it's time to let go of you
You once whispered words to me
Wondering if anybody loved each other like we do
I guess that's not enough for you
Tell me or I'm going to let you go
If it's time to let go of you
The song for me means that the relationship is slowly dying things between them is starting to get cold the writer of this song is doing the best she can to save the relationship and as much as possible wants to fight for their love for each other but how can u fight for something if the other had already given up.. All she is waiting for her partner to tell her that he loves her so much and would also do everything to fight for their relationship.. And that he truly loves her and won't give up on their relationship that easy

The girl who patiently waiting for your commitment to finally show up.

This song gave me a feeling that there is no more sparks in the relationship and the guy has taken her for granted for years, dragging the time and keep moving on with the relationship for the sake of the 'relationship'. But the girl is tired of waiting as the guy doesnt seems to make any effort to improve the relationship. Thats why the girl mentioned, 'you can't keep doing what you do', 'i'll stand without you, look how i have grown', 'it's time to let go of you'.. Indeed a very sad song

I belive this song describes a painful half-committed relationships
Exactly. I believe this song means a girl who doesn't know if she should leave or stay and wait for her boy (who i think attends cambridge university). College seriously takes a lot out of a person. Personally, that's exactly what i'm going through. As my boyfriend is busy with his school that has him travel everywhere. I hope and pray we make it. Growing up is hard. But necessary.
I personally think in this song, the girl is trying to express to her lover to make the choice whether or not he's in the relationship to be committed. He may be going through a phase where he's still searching or maybe being in a relationship is the least of his priorities and i guess she just wants to know. Every relationship shouldn't be based off of playing games on each other but should be based on the foundation of building a relationship that may lead towards marriage. If the guy isn't in the relationship to be committed... Ofcourse she's saying... Stop wasting my time and making me be miserable because you're still undecided.
I've experienced this within a 6 year period with my ex boyfriend. He was never sure of whether or not he wanted to be with me and he was always the one to break it off and always the one to come back. Things went so wrong within the relationship that through the last months of us struggling to keep our relationship, this same question, just like the song, i kept asking him as well. Still he was unsure until something had happened and i chose to leave him and let him go. It was hard at first but it needed to be done. Not because i can do better or because i deserve better (ofcourse anyone can), but because i needed restoration. Ofcourse even though it's been only a few months since our break up, who knows where god is going to lead us next?
