Wait for Me
Allison Weiss Lyrics

I forgot what it felt like; I feel so alive
For a while, I lost touch with how it is to truly live, but now I feel invigorated.

I'm packing my suitcase and changing my mind
I have been indecisive as I've been packing, and may not be entirely sure where I'm going.

I forgot what it's like to look the things you want right between the eyes
I've been avoiding confronting my desires straightforwardly, and it's been a while since I've done so.

It's never been so hard to say goodbye
Letting go is always difficult, but it feels particularly intense this time around.

I'm back to the basics and waiting for signs
I've returned to the basics of life, and am searching for a guiding signal to point me towards my next steps.

I'm praying for patience and falling behind
I'm hoping for more patience for myself, yet still find myself struggling to keep up.

It's not the way I’m meant to be; it’s just how I'm designed
I don't think that feeling like this is how things are supposed to be, but for now, it's just part of who I am.

I get so tired of running out of time
It's exhausting to feel like deadlines are always looming and my time is constantly running out.

I'm missing out on all the places I could go
I'm conscious of all the opportunities that I'm not seizing, and the wide range of experiences I'm missing out on.

The people I could know, the nights I'm not alone
I'm well aware of the people I've yet to meet in life, and all the fun and warmth that comes with spending nights with others instead of alone.

We'll never make it and it wasn't meant to be
I don't think that the odds are in our favor for making this work, and that perhaps it wasn't meant to be in the first place.

But I’ll wait if you'll wait for me
Despite all this uncertainty, I am willing to hold on if the other person also wants to stick with me through it all.

I'm trying to remember your face in my hands
As I go about my days, I try to recall the feel of your face in my hands, and hold onto your memory as best I can.

I wanted adventure, you met my demands
I wanted something exciting and different, and you fulfilled that wish for me.

I told myself that the day I left I want it but I can't
Before I left, I convinced myself that I wanted to do so, but now I don't think that I truly can bring myself to do it.

I fell for something far away again
I've always had a tendency to be drawn towards distant things, even if it's not the most practical.

I guess that it's pointless, but I mean what I say
Some people may think that my words are empty or naive, but I am earnest in what I believe.

I never expected through all of this time that I could be okay
Despite everything that's happened, I never thought that I could come to a place where I was okay with how things are.

Yeah, all the things you do to me, the promise and the pain,
You've made an impact on me, for better or for worse, and the highs and lows have been intense.

I wish with all my heart that I could stay
Despite my reservations, I still deeply wish that I could stick around and keep things going.
