Wait For You
Mitchel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i wonder why i’m so afraid, i’m so afraid of everything
i wonder why i’m so ashamed, i’m so ashamed
did they really have to ask if i was the real thing?
did they really have to laugh at me?

and i notice
somethings will never be clear
and i know this
but i’m still waiting in fear

all i want is something to make me feel real
break down the walls and melt away this flesh i can’t feel
raise the bar and open these doors that lock me inside me room
with nothing else to do but wait for you

i wonder why i’m not the same, i’m not the same as the rest of them
i wonder why i go insane, wish i was seen like the rest of them
did they really have to go and push me down?
i wonder why i’m yet to hit ground

and i notice
domethings will never be clear
and i know this
but i’m still waiting in fear

all i want is something to make me feel real
break down the walls and melt away this flesh i can’t feel
raise the bar and open these doors that lock me inside me room
with nothing else to do but wait for you

sometimes i ask myself if i will ever be cured
will i open up and step out in the world?

and i notice
somethings will never be clear
and i know this
but i’m still waiting in fear

all i want is something to make me feel real
break down the walls and melt away this flesh i can’t feel
raise the bar and open these doors that lock me inside me room
with nothing else to do but wait for you





i’ll be waiting for you
i’ll be waiting
