Wait For Me If You Will
Chasing Dreams and Lost Vows: A Melodic Journey by Hugh Lindsey
Lyrics
Wait for me if you will
Expresses a request to wait for the speaker.
I'm driving across the state
The speaker is traveling across the state.
Meet me outside six:thirty in the morning
Suggests a specific meeting time in the morning.
We can wet our hair in the summer dew
Imagery of enjoying the morning dew together.
Talk it all over with a cup of coffee
Proposes discussing matters over a cup of coffee, reminiscing about past habits.
Like we always use to do
Nostalgia for past conversations over coffee.
We can throw our phone out the second story window
Suggests a desire to disconnect from technology.
Cut off all our hair and strip out of our clothes
Symbolizes a willingness to make drastic changes, perhaps to start anew.
Go get lost in the woods where you grew up
Expresses a desire to escape to the woods, possibly seeking simplicity or a return to roots.
I just wanted to do it with you
Highlights the importance of sharing experiences with the person mentioned.
You know that I'd do anything
Reiterates the speaker's commitment to go to great lengths for the person.
Just to make you the happiest person
Desires the happiness of the other person.
Maybe then you'd stayed
Reflects on the regret of the person not staying.
We could have had the perfect home
Envisions an ideal home life that could have been shared.
A little two story white house
Describes a specific house, symbolizing a stable and happy family life.
Where we'd raise our kids with a dog
Imagines raising children and having a dog as part of a family unit.
And they could run and play in the yard
Envisions a playful and joyous family atmosphere.
And throw water balloons at the people who pass by in cars
Imagery of children playing with water balloons, suggesting innocence and fun.
It would have been a merry life
Expresses the potential for a happy and fulfilling life together.
If you had stuck to our vows and lived a married life
Reflects on the impact of not adhering to marital commitments.
You couldn't wait
Regrets the other person's impatience and decision to leave.
To leave me with the bills
Addresses financial challenges left by the departed person.
You drove out of the state
Confirms the departure of the person.
I wish you had
Expresses a wish that the person had waited for the speaker.
Met me outside six:thirty in the morning
Repeats the suggested meeting time and activity.
We could wet our hair in the summer dew
Reiterates the desire for shared moments, specifically involving the morning dew.
Talk it all over with a cup of coffee
Revisits the idea of discussing matters over coffee, emphasizing past habits.
Like we always use to do

We could throw our phone out the second story window
Reiterates a desire to disconnect from technology.
Cut off all our hair and strip out of our clothes
Symbolizes a willingness to make drastic changes for the sake of connection.
Go get lost in the woods where you grew up
Expresses a longing to return to the simplicity of the person's upbringing.
I just wanted to do it with you
