Wait
Craig Cardiff Lyrics

yester-year where we learned the fear
Referring to a time when we were young and naive, before truly experiencing love and the associated risk and vulnerability that can be scary.

Rents the cheapest room in the house, dear
Love is often hard to find and doesn't always come in the desired package or form, but still has value.

love called and said she found a better room to the year where we stayed awake and talked about, how the earthquake surely must be a sign the sky would fall
Love has departed, either because of pursuing something better or due to external factors. It's possible we drew into conspiracy theories and signs of doom in the past, perhaps utilising them as a distraction from our struggles.

wait, maybe love just missed her train wrong ticket, wrong platform, out in the rain she'll be home soon i bet you know how love can get you know how love gets
Although love may seem absent or lost, there's still hope as it might just be temporarily delayed. Love can be unpredictable and sometimes lead us in unexpected directions, making it difficult to predict when it will return.

sadness started to hang around and sit in the place where love used to sit and where love filled your eyes, sadness just pulls you down sadness smiles and says, "I know im not her, im not love but i'll stay and give you comfort and tell you how right you are and how right you've always been"
After love has left, sadness can fill the void where it once was. Although not a replacement for love, sadness can provide comfort and validation by acknowledging our feelings and experiences as being legitimate.

wait, maybe love just took ill in fever rides a cough and pills she'll be home as soon as the doctor says we know how love gets you know how love gets
Love may not necessarily have left by choice, but could have been forced away by circumstances beyond control, such as illness. Love requires maintenance and care in order to be sustained, which is something we must understand.

hates loud, and she pays for all the drinks and she glitters and tells you exactly what she thinks even when you say, "thanks, but i don't need to know" and hates loud as she takes you home to bed and shows you all the tricks, and leaves you more alone and she tells you shes all you deserve
When love is absent, we may seek out other forms of companionship that aren't as fulfilling, such as casual flings. These types of relationships may provide temporary relief from loneliness, but ultimately leave us feeling more alone and undeserving of something better.

wait, maybe love maybe love Left a note tucked, in the pillow in the pocket of your coat ohh, to remind us how the time went and love was here and love can come back again and love was here and she'll come back again.
Although love may have left, a reminder of its past presence exists. This note serves as a reminder that love was and still may be present, waiting for us to find it once again.
