Willing to Wait
Sebadoh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you see him again
Tell him everything that you told me
Tell him that I'm still your friend
And maybe you would like to see me again
I'm willing to wait my turn to be with you
But I still have a lot to learn about me
And no one's sure if we should be together
But oh, when I saw you again
A beautiful friend, she opened up her heart and let me in
No, I cannot lie to you
I'm still in love with you, and I only wanna be with you
So when you see him again
Tell him everything that you told me
We're more than friends and maybe we should start again
Maybe you could love me again
β€˜Cuz oh, when I saw you again
A beautiful friend, she opened up her heart and let me in
No, I cannot lie to you




I'm still in love with you, and I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with
