Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you've got me in your heart, baby
I know that you could love me
If you only had a guarantee
When I look at your face, it's so empty
I know I could fill you with love, baby
Your soul is dying for me
Can't deny our energy
And you're far, I'm near, you're there
I'm here, you're hurting for me
I can see it in your eyes
Some of the hardest things
Are easy to achieve with patience
I'll wait for you until the heavens fall
I'll wait for you until the end of the world
I'll wait for you until I no longer breathe
I know that it's not impossible
I'll wait for you until you finish your fight
I'll wait for you until the timing is right
I'll wait for you until you knock on my door
'Cause right now it's feeling just like a movie, yeah, yeah
Just like a movie, yeah, yeah
I know that this is hard for you
Want you to know that I'm feeling it too
It's taken some time but now I see everything
It's so clear to me
I can't give up your love without dying, baby
I'll wait until the sea is dry, baby
How do we know what love is
Until it is free?
And you're far, I'm near, you're there
I'm here, you're hurting for me
I can see it in your eyes
Some of the hardest things
Are easy to achieve with patience
I'll wait for you until the heavens fall
I'll wait for you until the end of the world
I'll wait for you until I no longer breathe
I know that it's not impossible
I'll wait for you until you finish your fight
I'll wait for you until the timing is right
I'll wait for you until you knock on my door
'Cause right now it's feeling just like a movie, yeah, yeah
Just like a movie, yeah, yeah
You don't gotta do anything that you can't do
You don't gotta do anything in a hurry
You don't gotta do anything that you can't do
I know you're there, you got me
You don't gotta do anything that you can't do
You don't gotta do anything in a hurry
You don't gotta do anything, so don't worry
I trust you, and I know you're there
Ah, just like a movie
Ah, just like a movie
Ah, just like a movie
Ah, just like a movie
I'll wait for you until the heavens fall
I'll wait for you until the end of the world
I'll wait for you until I no longer breathe
I know that it's not impossible
I'll wait for you until you finish your fight
I'll wait for you until the timing is right
I'll wait for you until you knock on my door
'Cause right now it's feeling just like a movie, yeah, yeah
Just like a movie, yeah, yeah

What they say what they say what they say
You speak out all you feel is defiance
All you need is some self-reliance
Cuz this world is gonna always try us
And all you wanted was to run for cover
Well here's looking to yourself and no other
We're all searching for that special something
And we keep on running
We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
I want to feel the light shine on me
You're so afraid of what people might say
But that's okay cuz you're only human
You're so afraid of what people might say
But that's okay you'll soon get strong enough
You're so afraid of what people might say
But that's okay cuz you're only human
You're so afraid of what people might say
You're going to break
So please don't do it
You wanna spread your wings but you're not sure
Don't wanna leave your comforts
Wanna find a cure
We're afraid of who we see in the mirror
We wanna let got but it feels too pure
Who wants to be alone in this world
You look around and all you see is hurt
But the light it always guides us
If we move with a little trust
A diamond don't define what shine is
I don't need a Rolex to know what the time is
You got your let me find what mine is
I'm a survivor look how strong my mind is
I stand on my own it's all me
Regardless of whatever they call me
I'm a leader not a follower
And I'd rather be paid and popular
Ride homie get your dollars up
