Wait
Pompeya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was looking for my heart
Since you came here for me
Spelling out the things you see
Laying them out before me

I was looking for my heart
Since you stood before me
Failing in my sense of words
Drowning in your sweet flow

I would sail with you all the way
By my side you have to stay
I will wait for you all day
I hope it's not too late

I was looking for my heart
Since you came here for me
Spelling out the things you see
Laying them out before me

I would sail with you all the way
By my side you have to stay
I will wait for you all day
I hope it's not too late

I would sail with you all the way
By my side you have to stay




I will wait for you all day
I hope it's not too late
