Don't Wait For Me
Eric Lumiere Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First love young love you know that I am going away
Sweet girl tough girl you know I'll want to hold you again

I have to leave now
Start a new dream now

Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me

This is our last night remember the good things, how beautiful you are
Don't cry for too long don't hold back your love after we're apart

I have to leave now
Start a new dream now

Shooting star light my way light my way
Lead me to the arms of someone safe someone safe
So i can find beauty and grace beauty and grace
Transcend this world of time and space time and space





Don't Wait For Me
Don't Wait For Me...

Steve Brian's signature rough chords are the perfect counterbalance to the warm melody and touching vocals from Christian Carcamo ☺️ 'Wait For Me' sounds like the stuff only dreams are made of but it's right here and so alive. I can't wait for the full album to drop 🙌

Oh you're going to be impressed for sure!
