we don't wait anymore - everything's extremely fast today, communication especially. long-distance contact can be made instantaneously. so everything feels even more ephemeral, or transitory, or fickle. we also don't walk as much in the contemporary busy life format, opting for faster means of transportation than our own legs. fast fast fast. it's only natural that the older generations will look back at those times when you actually had to wait to receive a letter, a physical document, and, in the case of classic lovers, a special piece of paper with the sender's very own handwriting (when not typewritten). there was expectation, and the expectation itself could be a reason to be content to be alive. a big part of the romance is gone.

Perfect explanation. I love the change of beat makes the piano chord feel more angry and tense.

Wonderful explanation. I have just one thing to add on: It seems like he is saying in times of trouble, or feeling suicidal that having to wait on a letter is a great means of getting through hard times, as you can do nothing but wait.
