Waiting for You
Allister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I'd tell you everything
I'd probably say that you've been on my mind
Since we held hands out in the rain
Smoking cigarettes to play
Off all the butterflies I had inside
And now I think that you should know
That I've wanted for so damn long
And that I wouldn't hesitate to trade away everything
If you tell me that I'm not wrong
So know I think that you should know
That I've been waiting for you
Since we sat underneath the stars
As I held you in my arms
Killing just another summer night
It's funny how the best things happen sometimes
And how I'll always remember those endless nights
But don't forget I regret the fact that I have to leave you
Right as the best part starts
So I thought I'd take the time to say

If I could tell you one thing
If I had one thing to say to you
Then I’d tell you everything
I would share everything on my mind with you
I’d probably say that you’ve been on my mind
I can't stop thinking about you
Since we held hands out in the rain
Since the moment we shared while holding hands in the rain
Smoking cigarettes to play
We smoked cigarettes to calm the nerves
Off all the butterflies I had inside
To ease the excitement and nerves building inside of me
And now I think that you should know
I want to share something important with you
That you’ve got everything
You have everything I want
That I’ve wanted for so damn long
I have been wanting these things for a long time
And that I wouldn’t hesitate to trade away everything
I would give up everything for you
If you tell me that I’m not wrong
As long as you tell me that my feelings aren't misplaced
So know I think that you should know
I want to reiterate what I've already said
That I’ve been waiting for you
I've been patiently waiting for you
Since we sat underneath the stars
Since the moment when we sat together under the stars
As I held you in my arms
When I had the pleasure of holding you close
Killing just another summer night
We were enjoying ourselves and enjoying the moment
It’s funny how the best things happen sometimes
It's interesting how life gives us unexpected delights
And how I’ll always remember those endless nights
The memories of the carefree and jovial moments will always remain with me
But don’t forget I regret the fact that I have to leave you
I feel sad that I have to leave you
Right as the best part starts
When the moment is at its peak
So I thought I’d take the time to say
I want to express my feelings before I leave
