Raised in a musical family, Paige fell in love with singing and writing her own lyrics at the influential age of 13. By the time she was 18, she had honed these skills and was collaborating with her older brother, Chase Duddy. In 2016, XYLØ released their debut EP, embarked on national tours, performed at countless festivals, accumulated millions of streams and earned a platinum plaque for their collaboration with The Chainsmokers on the song, “Setting Fires” (by The Chainsmokers featuring XYLØ). After the release of their successful single “I Still Wait For You” in 2017, XYLØ evolved into a whole new musical artist. Having grown up behind the mic, Paige found her own powerful voice; one that currently resonates worldwide - both sonically and lyrically. She and her brother mutually parted ways, allowing her to shine and him to pursue his own endeavors.
2018 is a new chapter for XYLØ and an emergence for Paige as a solo artist. “I’ve spent the last 9 months discovering myself as a young woman and as a singer/musician - with all the ups and downs that brings. The new music is about what I’ve gone through during this time, from living on my own for the first time, to facing the changing relationships in my life."
Four EPs named pretty sad (2019), yes & no (2019), The Ganglands of My Heart (2020) and OUTSIDERS CLUB (2020) self-released by XYLØ under Pretty Records. The title track from "yes & no" is her most successful single on Spotify as an independent artist to date, with almost 15 million streams.
I Still Wait For You
XYLØ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waking up with you when we were together
I lost my temper, you left at midnight
We saw the tears fall like rain on the headlights
It was always you and me
How could we be nothing, nothing?
I know that we don't speak
Why can't we fucking get along?
Forget everything we did wrong
'Cause you've been the one
You know this will never change
But everyday, I still wait for you
No, I don't want this to be true
This beautiful disaster is you
'Cause you've been the one
You know this will never change
But everyday, I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
I still wait for you
Lately I can't sleep, I flip the pillow
Tossing and turning and checking my cellphone
My head is a mess and so is my bedroom
I write a text then delete it, "I love you"
It was always you and me
How could we be nothing, nothing?
I know that we don't speak
But if I could ask you one thing, one thing
Why can't we fucking get along?
Forget everything we did wrong
'Cause you've been the one
You know this will never change
But everyday, I still wait for you
No, I don't want this to be true
This beautiful disaster is you
'Cause you've been the one
You know this will never change
But everyday, I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
I still wait for you
Every second feels like forever
Where the fuck you been? Are you listening?
Don't know what you've got until it's gone and
Baby, all I need is you to tell me
Why can't we fucking get along? (I still wait for you)
Forget everything we did wrong (I still wait for you)
'Cause you've been the one
You know this will never change
But everyday, I still wait for you
No, I don't want this to be true (I still wait for you)
This beautiful disaster is you (I still wait for you)
'Cause you've been the one
You know this will never change
But everyday, I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
(But everyday, I still wait) I still wait for you
'Cause you've been the one
You know this will never change
But everyday, I still wait for you
The lyrics of XYLØ's song "I Still Wait For You" depict a deeply nostalgic and bittersweet longing for a past relationship that hasn't been able to be let go. The singer reminisces about waking up with their former partner, but the relationship eventually fell apart due to their own anger and a subsequent departure in the middle of the night. The tears that fell like rain on the headlights symbolize the emotional turmoil and sadness that accompanied their separation.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's frustration with the current situation. They still yearn for their ex-lover and can't understand why they can't find a way to get along and move past the mistakes they made. Despite the pain and the knowledge that things will never change, every day they still wait for their former partner, hoping for a reconciliation or closure. They don't want to accept that this beautiful disaster is the person they are longing for.
In the second verse, the singer reveals the toll the breakup has taken on their emotional well-being. They struggle to sleep, constantly thinking about their former lover. They describe the messiness of both their thoughts and their physical space, highlighting the turmoil they are going through. They write text messages expressing their love, only to delete them, unable to send it and let go.
The bridge intensifies the emotions expressed in the song, emphasizing the infinite feeling of waiting for their ex-lover. They question where they have been and whether they are truly listening. The singer reflects on the realization that sometimes you don't fully appreciate what you have until it's gone. Ultimately, all they need is for their former partner to explain why they can't find a way to make things right and why they can't let go of this yearning for reconciliation.
Overall, "I Still Wait For You" captures the complex emotions that arise from a past relationship that still holds a significant place in one's heart. It explores the longing for closure, understanding, and the potential for a renewed connection.

Sometimes I feel like I can't remember
At times, I experience a sense of forgetfulness
Waking up with you when we were together
Recalling the moments of waking up alongside you during our time together
I lost my temper, you left at midnight
Due to my anger, you decided to leave in the middle of the night
We saw the tears fall like rain on the headlights
Witnessing tears streaming down like raindrops illuminated by the car headlights
It was always you and me
Throughout our relationship, it was consistently just the two of us
How could we be nothing, nothing?
I find it difficult to comprehend how our connection could amount to nothing
I know that we don't speak
Acknowledging the fact that we no longer communicate
But if I could ask you one thing, one thing
However, if I had the chance to ask you a single question
Why can't we fucking get along?
Why is it so challenging for us to have a harmonious relationship?
Forget everything we did wrong
Let go of all the mistakes and failures from our past
'Cause you've been the one
Because you have always been the significant other in my life
You know this will never change
You are aware that this situation will remain unchanged
But everyday, I still wait for you
Nevertheless, each day I continue to anticipate your presence
No, I don't want this to be true
Contrary to my desires, I don't want this reality to be accurate
This beautiful disaster is you
You embody a striking combination of beauty and chaos
Lately I can't sleep, I flip the pillow
Recently, I struggle with insomnia, constantly flipping my pillow
Tossing and turning and checking my cellphone
Restlessly moving around while repeatedly checking my mobile phone
My head is a mess and so is my bedroom
My thoughts are chaotic, just like the state of my bedroom
I write a text then delete it, 'I love you'
I compose a message expressing love, only to erase it before sending
Every second feels like forever
Each passing moment seems enduringly long
Where the fuck you been? Are you listening?
Where have you been, and are you paying attention?
Don't know what you've got until it's gone and
It is only when something is lost that we truly understand its value
Baby, all I need is you to tell me
My love, all I require is for you to communicate with me
'Cause you've been the one
Because you have always been the significant other in my life

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sometimes I feel like
I can’t remember
Waking up with you
When we were together
I lost my temper
You left at midnight
We saw the tears fall
Like rain on the head lights
It was always You & Me
How could we be nothing?
Nothing* ..
I know that we don't speak,
But if I could ask you one thing..
Why can't we fuc*ing get along?
Forget everything we did wrong?
'Cause You've been the One
You know this will never change
But everyday, I still wait for You
No, I don't want this to be true,
This beautiful, disaster is You!
'Cause You've been the One
You know this will never change
But everyday, I still wait for You
Lately I can't sleep
I flip the pillow,
Tossing and turning
and checking my cellphone
My head is a mess and so is my bedroom
I'd rather text it,
Delete it,
I love You
Repeat
Every second
Feels like forever
Where the fu*k You've been?
Are You listening?
Don't know what You've got
Until it's gone and
Baby all I need
Is You to tell me..
Why dont we fuc*ing get along?....
