Amber released her debut EP C'mon in 2010, landing two Top 40 singles ("C'mon," "Wait") on the national MusicRow Country Breakout chart. In 2012, the multi-talented performer starred in the major motion picture, "Cowgirls N' Angels." Three of Amber's songs made it into the film, including her duet with Lonestar's Richie McDonald, "Always There For Me." Her music was also featured in four episodes of the hit CW television series, "Hart of Dixie." In October 2012, she released her sophomore album, Any Day Is A Good Day. Shortly following, Billboard's The 615 named her as "One To Watch in 2013" and she opened up for one of her biggest musical influences, Reba McEntire, in Durant, Oklahoma. Amber's title track of her album and current single, "Any Day Is A Good Day," just recently scored Amber her first Top 30 record.

Wait
Amber Hayes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't usually talk to strangers
But today, this line's unusually long
I really liked our conversation
But I guess this is goodbye; on second thought, hold on

Wait, it might sound crazy
I'm thinkin' maybe
We could talk and talk all day

This could be forever
We may never ever
Know if this moment slips away
Wait

We could both just mind our business
Take our coffee cups, and just be on our way
Or we could stop, and take a minute
To find out if this love really is so plain

Wait, it might sound crazy
I'm thinkin' maybe
We could talk and talk all day
This could be forever
We may never ever
Know if this moment slips away
Wait

It's a million to one
Let's take it anyway

Wait, it might sound crazy
I'm thinkin' maybe
We could talk and talk all day
This could be forever
We may never ever
Know if this moment slips away
Don't let this moment slip away
Wait

Wait

Overall Meaning

Amber Hayes's "Wait" tells a story of a person who doesn't usually talk to strangers, but makes an exception one day when they find themselves in a long line. They strike up a conversation with a person in front of them and are immediately drawn to them. As they reach the end of the line and say goodbye, the singer has second thoughts and asks the person to wait a moment longer. The singer suggests they continue their conversation and potentially start something more.

In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that what they're suggesting might sound crazy, but they can't help but feel a connection with this person. They suggest they could talk all day and that this interaction could lead to something more. The bridge of the song suggests that this might be a rare opportunity that they don't want to let slip away.

Overall, the song is about taking a chance on love and putting yourself out there, even if it might seem unconventional or unexpected. It's a reminder to not let potential love slip away without taking a chance.
