songs: I’ll Wait

This is something of a fool's song. To me, through the lens of time, it paints the portrait of two idiots, one of whom I loved very dearly, and the other, myself.

I wasn’t ready to find love quite yet, she said
Better we end this now, before things get too heated
I don’t need my eyes to shine
I don’t want the stars aligned
I can only trust myself
So go and give your heart to someone else

He waited a moment before he opened his mouth and told her
I’ve studied this plot before and we’re only getting older
We don’t have to figure things out
We don’t have to settle this now
If you just promise me the truth
That is all I’ll ever ask of you

[c]
There’s no rush
I’ll wait for us
I’ll wait for us always
‘Cause your trust
Is sacred, Love
And I’ll save it from heartbreak

I don’t need a guarantee
So long as you’re here with me today

Until I was holding you my whole life felt so hopeless
I traveled the lonesome world on my own seeking wholeness
I sacrificed my sanity
To see beyond the old boundaries
And when I felt like coming home
You were there and all my fear was gone

[c]
I don’t mind uncertainty
So long as you’re here with me today

And if you fade into my past
I will go back, I will go back
I hold you in my heart
No matter where we’re at
And if we lose each other
Along the way I won’t wonder whether
Or not you’re coming back
I’ll just have faith that

[c]
I’ll guess I’ll just wait and see
With hope you’ll come back for me some day
