Wait
Broken Back Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The death at my door
Nothing to cry about
Nothing, he swore
I'm burning out
Once I am gone
Argue the odds
Forgive me, son
I was wait, wait
I don't know if I'm gonna stay
Hey, he said in a delicate way, way
Let me hold you when I summate, ace of heart
I was wait, wait
Wait, wait
Once in awhile
You go down to show
Remember all the doubts, remember wars
Hope in your smile
Is hope after all
Nothing to cry about
Nothing he swore
I was wait wait, I don't know if I'm gonna stay
Hey, he said in a delicate way, way
Let me hold you when I summate ace of heart
I was wait, wait
Wait wait
I was wait, wait
I don't know if I'm gonna stay
Hey, he said in a delicate way, way
Let me hold you when I summate, ace of heart

The line "Nothing, he swore" may refer to someone who is comforting the singer or helping him come to terms with his mortality.
The second verse introduces a sense of reminiscence, as the singer reflects on past struggles and doubts. The line "Hope in your smile / Is hope after all" suggests that even in the face of adversity, there is always the possibility of finding meaning and purpose.
