Wait for You
Parano And Parker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I will wait for you until you tell me not to
And I will wait for you until you tell me not to

So let's not even talk about the good times now
Let's wait until we're ready for tomorrow
Let's not even talk about how you got here
We got here, I got here
I will wait for you
I'll put on the plate all I can offer (all I can do)
I will wait for you
I'll put on the plate all I can offer (all I can do)

I write not of a tragedy
But a story to be told, a story to be told
I write not of you and me
But a story that is old, that is old

Will it suffice? Will it suffice?
I brought the nicest thing I could offer up

I will wait for you, I'll wait for you
(Until you tell me not to)
I will wait for you, I'll wait for you
(Until you tell me not to)
I will wait for you, I'll wait for you
(Until you tell me not to)
I will wait for you, I'll wait for you, So let's

So let's not even talk about where you've been
I've been staying up all night looking out the window
Looking for you running home
Run back prodigal son back home, it's the only place with open arms
Open arms waiting for you

I hesitate to tell you the truth that
She'll compensate for what I don't have
I will wait to tell you the truth that
She'll compensate for what I don't have
(I don't have you)

I will wait, I will wait, I will wait, I will wait
I will wait for you
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait, I will wait
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you, I'll wait for you until you tell me not to
I will wait for you, I'll wait for you until you tell me not to




I will wait for you, I'll wait for you until you tell me not to
I will wait for you, I'll wait for you until you tell me not to
