Carter and the rest of the Backstreet Boys released a new album, In A World Like this, which included Kevin Richardson for the first time in six years.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just promise that you'll be okay, love
Too many times you left me better
We need to share this one together
So, I will wait for you (ooo-oo-o)
′Cause love was made for two (ooo-oo-o)
And I'll hold on this time (ooo-oo-o)
No, I won't leave you behind
I will wait for you
Oo-oh
I promise darling that I won′t sleep
Until we reach the highest mountain peak
Thanks for the times that you were there for me
So let me payback all your charity
So, I will wait for you (ooo-oo-o)
′Cause love was made for two (ooo-oo-o)
And I'll hold on this time (ooo-oo-o)
No, I won′t leave you behind
And girl, I've been so cruel
I broke the golden rule
So shame on me for leaving you this way
I′ve done this all before
I've left you wanting more
And we both know that fools rush in
I will wait for you
(I will wait for you) I will wait for you

And I'll hold on this time (ooo-oo-o)
Girl, I won't leave you behind
I will wait for you
Oo-oo-oo
I will wait for you
Wait for you
I will wait for you
