Wait For You
Noah and Allie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When did we take the road that left us
Lost and hopeless
Maybe we don't belong
Or maybe we lost ourselves along the way
But Its never too late
I wake up to the sound of your voice
And even if I had no choice
I can't live without you
Sometimes I wake up feeling blue
But it will be ok if you stay true
'Cause as long as we're together
This is a love that could last forever
Where did I go wrong
When did I make the choice to leave you
Alone and helpless
I was so dumb and reckless
Well maybe I don't belong
Or maybe I lost myself along the way
But we can make a change today
I wake up to the sound of your voice
And even if I had no choice
I'd be lost without you
I can't live without you
Sometimes I wake up feeling blue
But it will be ok if you stay true
'Cause as long as we're together
This is a love that could last forever
I don't want you to leave today
Just promise me that you will stay
I can't always find the words to say
It doesn't always have to be this way
I don't want you to leave today
Just promise me that you will stay
I can't always find the words to say
It doesn't always have to be this way
I wake up to the sound of your voice
And even if I had no choice
I'd be lost without you
I can't live without you
Sometimes I wake up feeling blue
But it will be ok if you stay true
'Cause as long as we're together
This is a love that could last forever
