Wait for You
Los Ángeles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On this boulevard that used to walk you hold
Now the streets are so long
I see your face in a magazine
Now I'm watching you
On my deepest cradle
Did you crash into your dreams?
Do you remember?
I hear you coming again
Do you remember?
I hear you coming again
'Cause I remember
So I wait
Wait for you
No, and you won't be here tonight
No, and you won't be here tonight
So I run
Run to you
No, and you won't be here tonight
No, and you won't be here tonight
I walk these empty streets
While the city sleeps
I hear symphonies
I hear voices in my sleep
Won't you save this broken boy?
Is lonely down here
And I miss how
We used to stay up all night
The world was ours!
The song "Wait For You" by Los Ángeles is a melancholic tune that explores the theme of longing for a lost love. The lyrics talk about how the singer of the song reminisces about the past when they used to walk on a boulevard with someone they loved. The opening line, "It's funny how we all change," sets the tone for the song as it acknowledges the fact that people change over time. The streets that were once so familiar seem long and deserted now as the singer thinks about the person they used to be with.
The nostalgia continues as the singer sees the face of their lost love in a magazine, bringing back memories of the past. They wonder if the person they used to love has achieved the dreams they had once talked about together. The chorus then kicks in where the singer talks about waiting for their lost love, even though they know they won't be there tonight. The line, "So I run, run to you," suggests that the singer is still hopeful and wants to be reunited with their love.
The song then ends with the singer reflecting on their loneliness and how they miss the nights when they used to stay up together, feeling like the world was theirs. The overall melancholic tone of the song is enhanced by the slow tempo and the use of the piano.
