Wait For Me
^theory of a deadman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Imagine me there by your side
It's so hard to be here so far away, from you
I'm counting the days 'till
I'm finally done
I'm counting them down, yeah, one by one
It feels like forever 'till I return to you
But it helps me on those lonely nights
Knowing that you wait for me
Ever so patiently
No one else knows the feeling inside
We hang up the phone without saying goodnight
Because it's the sound of your voice that brings me home
It's never been easy to say
But it's easier when I've gone away
Knowing that you wait for me
Ever so patiently
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me
What I'd give
What I'd do
Knowing I'm not there for you
Makes it so hard to leave
What I'd give
What I'd do
Anything to get me home to you
And this time I'll stay
And you wait for me
Ever so patiently
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me
The song Wait For Me by Theory of a Deadman is a tribute to the power of love amidst physical separation. The lyrics reveal the pain and struggle of being away from a loved one and the solace of knowing that someone waits for you. The singer is far away from the person they love, and the distance is a source of immense pain, as lonely nights become interminable. However, knowing that someone is waiting for them is what keeps them alive. The lines "It's never been easy to say but it's easier when I've gone away" convey the difficulty of expressing true love face-to-face, but the physical distance ironically makes it easier to tell the person how much they mean to the singer.
The song highlights the importance of patience and waiting in love. The partner who is waiting for the singer is patient and devoted, and it is their devotion that gives the singer the strength to carry on. The lyrics "No one else knows the feeling inside, We hang up the phone without saying good night" portray a level of intimacy that can only exist between two people who truly love each other.
