Wait for Me
Geoff Byrd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can try to escape you and live underground
With a little dirt on my face and the thorniest crown
And I can try to replace you with the rest of my life
I can never forget I will always regret

Walking away
Never to see
Countless emotions

Hidden deep within me
When will I find you
In my embrace
Give me a chance
Scream in my face
Will you still love me
Will you walk away

Broken angels at twilight in the white virgin snow
All the little voices inside us are stealing the show
How are we supposed to be silent and wait for the day
I can never forget I will always regret

Walking away
Never to see
Countless emotions
Hidden deep within me
When will I find you
In my embrace
Give me a chance
Scream in my face
Will you still love me
Will you walk away

Guitar Hook

I can try to escae you and live underground
With a little dirt on my face and the thorniest crown
And I can try to replace you with the rest of my life
I can never forget I will always regret

Walking away
Never to see
Countless emotions
Hidden deep within me
When will I find you
In my embrace
Give me a chance
Scream in my face
Will you still love me
Will you walk away

Under the falling rain the misty window pane
I hear your broken voice rebel against my choice

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Geoff Byrd's song "Wait for Me" are about regret, longing, and trying to move on from a lost love. The song begins by acknowledging the possibility of trying to escape the pain of the past by living underground, but ultimately realizing that trying to replace someone with the rest of one's life is an impossible task. The chorus repeats the phrase "walking away" and highlights the emotional turmoil that comes with that decision. The lyrics also express a desire to be reunited with the person who has been lost - the singer keeps asking whether the person will still love him or whether they will walk away.

The second verse brings up the image of "broken angels at twilight" in a snowy landscape, suggesting that perhaps both the singer and the lost love are damaged in some way. The line "All the little voices inside us are stealing the show" could refer to internal conflicts that have prevented reconciliation. The chorus repeats again, followed by a guitar hook.

The song ends with the idea of hearing the lost love's "broken voice rebel against my choice" - suggesting that the singer has made a decision to move on, but is still hearing echoes of the past.

Overall, "Wait for Me" seems to be about the difficulty of letting go of past relationships and the regret that can come with those decisions. Despite the pain, there is a persistent hope that the lost love will return and that reconciliation is possible.
