Wait
Reilly Maggie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lying in my bed alone
and whispering your name,
Wonder where you are tonight
and do you feel the same,
letting my thoughts fly to where
you might be,
Sharing the secret that took you from me..
Heart is beating faster with
the memory of your touch
Try to ease this loneliness
I'm missing you so much
I'm with you when sleep comes
I find you in dreams
But wake to confusion
It's not as it seems
I´m waiting for you,
those words I still hear you say,
But it seems like a lifetime
since you went away,
These chains round my heart
and they´ll just won't let me feel,
Until you return I will never be free,
I hear you call - wait for me.
Do you still remember by the ocean,
Oh so blue,
As I looked into your eyes,
you said that you´ll be true,
The promises made
as we walked on the beach,
Like the moon and the stars
now so far out of reach.
I'm waiting for you
those words I still hear you say
But it seems like a lifetime
since you went away,
There's chains round my heart
and they just won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
I hear you call - Wait for me
Lying in my bed alone
and whispering your name
Wonder where you are tonight
and do you feel the same
Letting my thoughts fly
to where you might be
Sharing the secret
that took you from me
I'm waiting for you
Those words I still hear you say
but it seems like a lifetime
since you went away
There's chains round my heart
and they just won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
I hear you call - Wait for me
I'm waiting for you
Because it's all I can do
But it seems all my life
I've been waiting for you
This ache in my heart
You know it won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
Still I can hear - Wait for me
I'm waiting for you
Those words I still hear you say
But it seems like a lifetime
Since you went away
There's chains round my heart
And they just won't let me be
Until you return




I will never be free
I hear you call - Wait for me

Overall Meaning

"Wait" by Reilly Maggie is a powerful ballad that talks about the pain of being away from someone you love. The first line "Lying in my bed alone and whispering your name" sets the tone of the song - the singer is alone and missing her lover. She wonders where he is and if he is feeling the same way she is. The line "Sharing the secret that took you from me" implies that there was some sort of betrayal or heartbreak that has caused the separation between the two of them.


The chorus "I'm waiting for you, those words I still hear you say" is repeated several times throughout the song, highlighting the fact that the singer is holding on to the promise her lover made to return to her. The chains around her heart emphasize the pain she feels and the longing she has for her lover's return. The line "I'm with you when sleep comes, I find you in dreams" shows that the singer's thoughts are consumed with thoughts of her lover.


The second verse is filled with memories of the time they spent together. The line "As I looked into your eyes, you said that you'll be true" shows the trust the singer had in her lover, and how difficult it is to come to terms with the fact that he's gone. The line "Like the moon and the stars now so far out of reach" is a metaphor for their relationship - it was once within reach, but now it seems distant and unattainable.


Overall, "Wait" is a heart-wrenching song that speaks to anyone who has ever been separated from someone they love. It is a painful reminder of the power of love, and how difficult it can be to move on.
