Wait for Me
Yearning Echoes: Jack Curley's Plea for Love in 'Wait for Me'
Lyrics
Stay
Expressing the desire for someone to stay.
Don’t let him get to you
Advising not to let someone else affect you negatively.
I know I should be leaving but I’m drinking and I wanna wake up with you
Acknowledging the need to leave but wanting to spend the night together while under the influence of alcohol.
Stay
Reiterating the plea for the person to stay.
Please stay
Repeating the request for the person to stay.
I’m hiding scared lying but I’m hoping that your thinking the same
Admitting to hiding and lying, expressing hope that the other person shares similar thoughts.
Don’t go go go
Urging the person not to go, asking for a little more time.
Don’t leave me behind
-Don’t go go go
-Just a little more time
-So wait for me
Expressing a plea to wait, promising not to let the person down, and asking for reassurance through a whisper.
I’ll tell you all the words that I need
-Cause every time you’re close I can’t breathe
-So won’t you
-Wait for me
-I promise that I won’t let you down
-Can’t bring yourself to say it out loud
-So whisper that you’ll wait for me
-So whisper that you’ll wait for me
-Say
Encouraging the person to express their feelings, promising not to treat them poorly, and exploring emotions together.
Say what you want to me
-I see your tears falling don’t you know I won’t treat you that way
-Stay
-So please stay
-I’m lost inside your mind and I’ve found places that can make you feel again
-Don’t go go go
Repeating the urgency not to go and asking for a little more time.
Don’t leave me behind
-Don’t go go go
-Just a little more time
-So wait for me
Reiterating the plea to wait, promising reliability, and asking for a whispered confirmation.
I’ll tell you all the words that I need
-Cause every time you’re close I can’t breathe
-So won’t you
-Wait for me
-I promise that I won’t let you down
-Can’t bring yourself to say it out loud
-So whisper that you’ll wait for me
-You know I’d never give you up
Affirming commitment and expressing willingness to endure pain for the relationship.
Hoping I’m the one you’re thinking of
-Even though it hurts
-You know that I would do it again
