In the song "Wait" by Cameron J, the artist discusses making a potential love interest wait for his affection. He seems to be unsure if the person he is interested in is worth his time and effort, stating "Tell me love, tell me love are you able? Do you match what I bring to the table?" He plays with the idea of giving his all to this person but ultimately comes to the conclusion that he should make them wait for it. This idea of holding back and hesitation seems to be a theme throughout the song. He goes on to sing about the different things he should make them wait for, including his time, kiss and touch.
In the chorus, he repeats the line "I should make you wait" several times to emphasize his point. He believes that by making this person wait, they will appreciate him and his love more. The song ends with him expressing that he does want to love this person but he still plans to make them wait.
The lyrics of this song highlight the idea of emotional vulnerability and the hesitation that can come with giving oneself completely to another person. Cameron J seems to be grappling with the decision of whether or not to open himself up to someone fully or to hold back and make them wait for his love. This concept could resonate with many people who have experienced similar feelings in their own relationships.
