I love this song, I am captive to it.

I understand it as a sung from an adult who still waiting for a sign of affection (or a show of comfort) that they've had since childhood; a hug from mom/dad or the like. Maybe the person the narrator sings to abdondoned them, or died, or maybe they failed to return the love the child felt for them.

By the verses: 1-even when I grow up I'll be waiting for you to come (back) to me 2-for all the things I'll have, I'll be "waiting for it |you| to embrace me" 3-I did things for you, drew a picture, but I didn't like it because "I never liked a sad look from someone who wants to be loved by you" - like I do. 4-I'm an adult/my friends trust me/I am responsible/I work- I stay occupied because when I have time to think, I cry for you. 5-(Cucumber facial?)you spent your time preparing for things that didn't happen, that didn't involve me. I was afraid in the dark. And I'm... Waiting for you to embrace me.

nice!

I like this interpretation. :)
