Wait
Yearning Echoes: A Heart's Vigil in David Archuleta's 'Wait'
Lyrics
I can't sleep, I'm feeling wide awake
I am unable to sleep; I feel fully awake.
Tonight is taking it's time
The night seems prolonged and is passing slowly.
How much more before the morning breaks
How much time remains before morning arrives?
And I can leave it all behind
I hope to leave behind all the troubles or thoughts.
'Cause every time I try to close my eyes
Whenever I attempt to close my eyes,
I only end up seeing memories of you
I only see memories of you.
And it's never enough, I'm waiting
It's never satisfying; I am in a state of waiting.
Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
Even though you are not present physically, I can sense your emotions.
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
Your heart is reaching out to me like a sudden revelation in the darkness.
If this is just a dream
If this experience is just a dream,
I won't give it back
I won't return it; I want it to continue.
I'll find a way to make it last
I'll find a way to prolong this dream.
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Requesting one more minute, urging not to leave.
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Asking for just one more minute, pleading not to go.
I am keeping every word you say
I am carefully preserving every word you have spoken.
But how much longer can I hold on
However, how much longer can I endure or hold onto them?
Cause whispers echoing until they fade
Whispers continue until they fade away,
Remind me that you're already gone
Reminding me that you have already departed.
'Cause every time I try to chase your voice
When I try to pursue the sound of your voice,
I end up getting lost and running in circles
I end up lost, running in circles.
And it's never enough, I'm waiting
It's never satisfying; I am in a state of waiting.
Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
Even though you are not present physically, I can sense your emotions.
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
Your heart is reaching out to me like a sudden revelation in the darkness.
If this is just a dream
If this experience is just a dream,
I won't give it back
I won't return it; I want it to continue.
I'll find a way to make it last
I'll find a way to prolong this dream.
One more minute wait, wait, wait, don't go
Requesting one more minute, urging not to leave.
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Asking for just one more minute, pleading not to go.
Wait, wait, wait, don't go
Urgent plea not to leave, wait for one more minute.
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Asking for just one more minute, pleading not to go.
Oooh yeah, don't go
Expressing an emotional appeal not to leave.
Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
Even though you are not present physically, I can sense your emotions.
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
Your heart is reaching out to me like a sudden revelation in the darkness.
If this is just a dream
If this experience is just a dream,
I won't give it back
I won't return it; I want it to continue.
I'll find a way to make it last
I'll find a way to prolong this dream.
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Requesting one more minute, urging not to leave.
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Asking for just one more minute, pleading not to go.
