I'll Wait
Blue Highway Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got me captured; I'm under your spell
I guess I'll never learn
I have your picture; yes I know it well
Another page is turned
Are you for real? It's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I'll wait till your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are

I wrote a letter and told her these words
That meant a lot to me
I never sent it, she wouldn't have heard
Her eyes don't follow me
And while she watches I can never be free
Such good photography!

I'll wait till your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are

You can't imagine what your image means
The pages come alive
Your magic greets everyone who reads
Heartbreak in overdrive
Are you for real, it's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I'll wait till your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are

I'll wait till your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart

No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blue Highway's song "I'll Wait" paint a picture of a man who is deeply infatuated with a woman whose image he has seen in a magazine. He confesses that he is under her spell and that he will wait for her love to come down. Despite not knowing if she is real or not, the image on the page has had a profound impact on him, causing heartbreak in overdrive. He even wrote her a letter expressing his feelings, but he knows she will never read it, as she is only a photograph.

The song reflects on the power of media and its ability to create unrealistic expectations and cause a sense of longing for something that may not be real. The singer is fully aware of this and yet he cannot shake off the feeling of being captured by the woman's image.

In essence, the song is about unrequited love and the impact of media on our lives. It's about the disconnect between the image of a person and who they truly are, and the emotional toll it can take on someone who falls in love with a fantasy.
