Translating Song Lyrics

How would you translate these lines into Spanish?

  • You're waiting for someone to put you together
  • You're waiting for someone to push you away

My attempt to translate this was ...

  • Estés esperando para alguien, te reúen (You're waiting for someone, you they put together)
  • Estés esperando para alguien, te empujan (You're waiting for someone, you they push away)

And I'm fairly sure they're completely wrong. Any help?

I'd say:

Estás esperando que alguien te arregle/componga/complete (verbs: arreglar or componer (to fix); completar: complete)

Estás esperando que alguien te aparte (to push you away)

Why just those lyrics? Why not take a crack at translating the whole tune? It would be good practice.

Haven't heard that one in a long time. It brings back memories of middle school. - andrewandrew599, Oct 3, 2012
I have been translating the whole song - I've tried translating quite a few. :) - Notedstrangeperson, Oct 3, 2012

Usted está esperando a alguien que lo juntos

Usted está esperando a alguien que le alejar

i think this is correct.
