Don't Make Me Wait
Philippe Lemot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really tryna give you space, you know I'd rather invade
Hanging onto every word, in the silence am I heard
I'm just following your lead, I think you know what I need
Please come closer now
I just wanna hold tight to you
See the person inside of you
We should take a chance and let the walls fall down
So let me in on your mystery
Show me something different now
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
Lets run away
Don't make me wait
I just wanna hold tight to you
Seeing you in a new light, as the day turns into night
You're a vision that I've had, is this moment here to last
Please come closer now
I was tryna confide in you
What would living look like with you
We should take a chance and see what we can build
You could let your guard down for me
You are all I need you to be
Show me something different now
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
Lets run away
Don't make me wait
I just wanna hold tight to you
Oh, I can't take it anymore
Oh, will you come closer
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
Lets run away
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
Lets run away
Don't make me wait
I just wanna hold tight to you

The chorus repeats the phrase “don’t make me wait” emphasizing the urgency of the singer's desires while noting that they are ready to run away and see each other in a new light.
In the second verse, the singer's focus is shifted to the character of the person they like, seeing them in a new light as night falls.

The pre-chorus repetition intensifies the desire for the walls to fall down and to see what can be built. The chorus again emphasizes the urgency and desire for this person and to explore what they have to offer.
Overall, the song expresses the singer's deep desire for someone and their fear of being left behind. They are ready to explore what could be but need the other person to meet them just as eagerly.
