Wait
Amy Vachal Lyrics

Falling like seasons
I am changing and evolving with time, just like how seasons change and transition over time

Falling like seasons I'm changing like color
Just like how the colors of the trees change during different seasons, I too am evolving and transforming, both physically and emotionally

Golden and green and
Refers to the colors of the trees during fall and spring respectively, and how they eventually lose their vibrancy and fade over time

They lost their feeling and he was the weather
Describes how the warmth and emotion between two people slowly dwindles away, and how one partner's actions may have contributed to that decline

So wear me out
Emphasizes the artist's readiness to face the consequences of sharing their true feelings

I am coming clean
I am confessing the truth about how I feel and how I have been affected by our relationship

I am putting down pictures when we were together
Illustrates how the singer is reflecting on their past relationship and memories associated with it

I'm falling like seasons and he'll never see
Despite the artist's emotional changes and growth, their partner may not recognize or appreciate their evolution

Words in my skin and lips on a letter
Describes how the artist has internalized the words and messages from their partner in a physical and emotional manner

I don't have his reasons
The artist does not fully understand their partner's perspective or reasoning for their actions

And every last leaf has been torn from the tether
The singer feels disconnected and detached from their partner, as if they have lost all emotional ties and bonds

We were cherry red on a seedless tree
The relationship between the artist and their partner was beautiful and unique, but ultimately lacked the necessary support or foundation to be successful

I let myself love you, I dared it deep
The singer took a risk and allowed themselves to fully love and commit to their partner, despite the potential heartbreak that may result

We had a city of trees
Refers to a past memory where the singer and their partner were surrounded by nature and all its beauty

We had a city of stars
Refers to a past memory where the singer and their partner were surrounded by the bright lights and energy of a city

We had a city of dreams
Refers to a past memory where the artist and their partner had aspirations and hopes for their future together

We had a city of wind
Refers to a past memory where the artist and their partner felt free and unencumbered by their problems and worries

And you are lost in your heart
The singer feels that their partner is emotionally disconnected and not fully present in their relationship

And you could cover your love
The singer believes that their partner is hiding or suppressing their true feelings towards them

You can't cover your heart
It is impossible for the artist's partner to hide or disregard their true emotions, even if they try to hide it from themselves or others
