Wait for You
Artist vs. Poet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm reading warning signs, rewriting all my lines
I won't be giving up, 'till you're giving in girl
But you won't take my hand...
So I'll be asking you,
How high when you tell me to jump
And I'll say how long when you tell me to wait for you
And that's what I'm gonna do.
And as the room is flooded in bare moonlight
We're dreaming all the time, when I can call you mine
I won't be giving up, 'till you're giving in
But you won't take my hand...
So I'll be asking you,
How high when you tell me to jump
And I'll say how fast when you tell me to run
And I'll say how long when you tell me to wait for you
And that's what I'm gonna do.
Don't say, say that you're still afraid
'Cause your lips give you away
And your body does the same
So I'll be asking you...
How high when you tell me to jump
And I'll say how fast when you tell me to run
And I'll say how long when you tell me to wait for you
'Cause that's what I'll do...
How high when you tell me to jump
And I'll say how fast when you tell me to run
And I'll say how long when you tell me to wait for you
And that's what I'm gonna do.
Yeah oh oh oh
And that's what I'm gonna do.
The lyrics of Artist vs. Poet's song Wait For You revolve around a person’s desire for someone they love. The song’s narrator expresses their longing for someone who has yet to reciprocate their feelings. They describe being locked up in their room, rewriting their lines and reading warning signs. They are determined to win over the object of their affection, even if it means waiting for them to come around.
As the song progresses, the singer continues to express their devotion to this person, saying they won’t give up until they give in. They are willing to do whatever it takes to win this person over, jumping high or running fast when asked, but ultimately they’ll wait for them. The lines “Don't say, say that you're still afraid, 'Cause your lips give you away, And your body does the same” suggest that the singer believes that the person they love actually feels the same way but is too afraid to admit it, which makes the waiting feel more worthwhile.
Overall, Wait For You is a love song about hope and determination. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to win the person they love. The song is a reminder of the power of hope and the importance of holding onto the things that matter.

I envision a future where we are a couple
But you won't take my hand...
You are still not interested in me
Don't say, say that you're still afraid
Don't deny your feelings out of fear
'Cause your lips give you away
Your actions and words reveal your true feelings
And your body does the same
Your body language also shows your true emotions
And that's what I'll do...
I'll keep pursuing you in the same way
Yeah oh oh oh
A vocalization without a specific meaning
And that's what I'm gonna do.
I'll continue my pursuit of you
