Wait for You
Beverly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
on broken wings
cause I've been here before
you know I've always wanted so much more
than all of this here
I've laid down at your feet
I've cut myself wide open
just so you could see me from inside
anymore
I wait
for you
and watch you slip away
it's just another day
for me anyway
Show me the way
I'll close my eyes
and you can be my guide
I'm still learning how to lose my sight
I stumble and I fall
my body is broken
but you still pick me up
can seventy times seven be enough?
my hope rises from your blood
you say
I wait
for you
and watch you slip away
it's just another day
for me anyway (x2)
So stand right by my side
like you have so many times
and show me how to shine
I wait
for you
and watch you slip away
it's just another day
for me
I wait
for you
and watch you slip away
it's just another day
for me anyway (x2)
The lyrics of "Wait for You" by Beverly speak of the endurance and perseverance in a seemingly difficult relationship. The song commences with the singer expressing her desire to be uplifted from her troubles by someone she trusts. She seeks someone to carry her, "Bear me away," and help her overcome the difficulties she has encountered previously in her relationship. Despite her insecurity, Beverly declares, "I've got nothing left to hide," implying that she's ready to be vulnerable and truthful about her feelings with the person she's addressing.
Continuing to wait for that person to come around is something she can't help doing because she can't seem to move past her emotions without them. Even when she teeters on the edge of defeat, she still puts her hope, which arises from the blood of the significant other, in them. Beverly closes the song, still waiting for her love to come around, asking him/her to "stand right by my side" and help her shine.

Bear me away
Take me away together with all of my troubles and struggles
on broken wings
Even though it's not in perfect condition, I'm willing to be taken away
cause I've been here before
I have been in a similar situation before where I wanted more than what I currently have
you know I've always wanted so much more
I have always yearned for something beyond what is within my reach
than all of this here
I want more than what is just present in front of me
I've laid down at your feet
I have surrendered and given my all to you
I've cut myself wide open
I have exposed my vulnerabilities and weaknesses to you
just so you could see me from inside
I did this so you could understand me from the deepest part of myself
I've got nothing left to hide
I am now an open book and have nothing left to conceal
I wait
I am patiently waiting
for you
for you to come back or to reappear
and watch you slip away
although I wait, I still see you leaving
it's just another day
it's just another day where I have to face the same situation
for me anyway
it is just another day for me to continue waiting
Show me the way
Teach me how to reach my destination
I'll close my eyes
I will let go of my doubts and trust you completely
and you can be my guide
I depend on you to help me and show me the right path
I'm still learning how to lose my sight
I am still learning how to let go of control and trust someone else's guidance
I stumble and I fall
I make mistakes and experience failures
my body is broken
I have physical and emotional scars from my struggles
but you still pick me up
you never give up on me despite my flaws
can seventy times seven be enough?
will your patience and forgiveness with me ever run out?
my hope rises from your blood
you are the source of my hope and strength
So stand right by my side
Be present with me and support me
like you have so many times
you have been my backbone and support for so many times
and show me how to shine
help me be the best version of myself and succeed
