Wait
On-The-Go Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wait, wait for the dawn my dear
Wait till the sun gets here
And you will wait too long he will be gone
Wait, wait till the sun shines through
Wait till the sky is blue
And you will wait too long he will be gone, he will be gone

Oh, he will be gone
Oh, he will be gone

Wait, wait till the signs are right
Wait till the perfect time
And you will wait too long he will be gone, he will be gone

Oh, he will be gone
Oh, he will be gone

Wait, wait till you don't doubt no more




Wait, wait till you know you're sure
And you will wait too long he will be gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Wait" by On-The-Go explore the idea of waiting for the right time to take action in a relationship, but ultimately waiting too long and losing the opportunity. The song urges the listener to be patient and wait for certain conditions, such as the arrival of the dawn or the perfect timing, but reminds them that waiting too long could mean missing out on love.


The first verse advises waiting for the dawn, the coming of the sun and the appearance of blue skies, which are all metaphors for positive and hopeful situations. However, despite waiting for these idealistic conditions, the beloved still runs the risk of losing the other person. The chorus emphasizes this point, with the repeated refrain of "Oh, he will be gone" creating a sense of urgency and warning.


The second verse reinforces the message by suggesting that waiting until the signs are perfect is futile and that the beloved must act before it's too late. The final verse sees the lyrics suggest that the recipient wait until they are no longer doubtful and are sure of their feelings before making a move. However, the warning is still there that even then, waiting too long could mean losing the chance at true love altogether.


Overall, the song is a poignant examination of the anxiety surrounding relationships and love, and how the fear of making the wrong move can lead to missed opportunities.


Line by Line Meaning

Wait, wait for the dawn my dear
Hold off and delay, my beloved, until the break of day


Wait till the sun gets here
Delay until the adequate time when the the ball of fire in the sky has risen


And you will wait too long he will be gone
If you wait too much longer, he will have left the vicinity, unable to wait any longer


Wait, wait till the sun shines through
Defer until the appropriate hour when sunlight illuminates everything


Wait till the sky is blue
Hesitate until the heavens have cleared up its clouds and the color blue is visible


Oh, he will be gone
Oh, he will have left by then


Wait, wait till the signs are right
Abstain until the indications and signals are in favor of taking action


Wait till the perfect time
Postpone until the exact moment that is just right


Wait, wait till you don't doubt no more
Hold out and pause until you have no more uncertainty or skepticism


Wait, wait till you know you're sure
Delay until the point in time where you are positive and convinced


And you will wait too long he will be gone
But If you wait any longer past that instance, he most definitely will have already departed
