Waiting for You
Sunday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's that time of night
When everything is dark
And I think of all the times
I should have got it right

If there comes a day
When things don't seem so hard
We can finally live that life
And try to make things right

If you say goodbye
Oh it tears me apart
But I can't just stay and fight
I gotta make things right

That's all I want to do it's all for you
Your smile your laugh your eyes
It's only you
If you leave then everything
Will be okay
For you

Why'd you go away
Why can't we restart
Took a trip into the night
I'd prefer a fight

If we should start again
Do I have to travel far
Would you meet me halfway there
Or should I just not care

That's all I want to do it's all for you
Your smile your laugh your eyes
It's only you
If you leave then everything
Will be okay
If you leave then everything
Will be okay





For you
