Wait For Me
Love's Journey Through Distance: Wait For Me by Mary Spender
Lyrics
I'll vanish from here, leave my
I plan to disappear from this place and go to Chicago
Run to Chicago, find somebody there
Intention to find someone in Chicago
Put myself in danger just to
Willing to put oneself in danger to test if the person cares
See if you'd care
Testing the depth of the other person's feelings
It didn't hit me until I left New York
Realization of the impact only after leaving New York
Found myself crying through the airport
Emotional experience at the airport, possibly regret
Summer was fading, had I survived at all?
Reflecting on survival through a challenging period
I was blinded by a sudden rain
Blinded by a sudden emotional upheaval
Too soon to love, too soon to trust
Feeling it's too early to love and trust again
Be vulnerable again, but
Reluctance to be vulnerable again
Wait for me and I'll come running
Promising to return if given time
When you most need me I'll appear
Assurance to appear when needed the most
I'll fall for someone quickly
Falling for someone quickly but the emotions fade
So quickly it fades
Quick fading of emotions in new relationships
When they kiss my neck at the end of the day
Longing for the touch reminiscent of the person
I'll wish their lips were yours
Wishing the new person was the distant one
You're just too far away
Expressing the emotional distance
I was blinded by a sudden rain
Repetition of emotional blindness in the rain
Too soon to love, too soon to trust
Reiteration of being too early to love and trust
Be vulnerable again, but
Repeating reluctance to be vulnerable again
Wait for me and I'll come running
Reassurance of returning when needed
When you most need me I'll appear
Reiteration of appearing in times of need
Wait for me and I'll come running
Reassurance of coming when needed
When you most need me I'll appear
Repetition of appearing when needed
There's a simple reason we
Stating a simple reason for meeting each other
Met each other then i know you need to learn
Recognition of the need to learn and love oneself
To love yourself again
Encouragement to regain self-love
You're still picking up the
Picking up the emotional pieces left by others
Pieces that you left that everyone has left
Emphasizing the shared experience of emotional struggles
But not everyone has left you
Not everyone has abandoned the person
So wait for me and I'll come running
Reiteration of the promise to return in times of need
When you most need me I'll appear
Reaffirmation of appearing when needed
Wait for me and I'll come running
Repetition of the commitment to come running
When you most need me I'll appear
Reassurance of appearing when needed
Wait for me and I'll come running
Repetition of the promise to return promptly
When you most need me I'll appear
Reiteration of being there in times of need
Wait for me and I'll come running
Reassurance of coming running when needed
When you most need me I'll appear
Reiteration of being there in times of need
