I Will Wait For You Lyrics

In the light when I close my eyes
Yeah in the night when my mouth turns blue
You know I will wait for you ooh ooh
Its all that I can do

Under stones and inside the trees
Yeah far away from this town I steal
You know, I will wait for you ooh ooh
Its all that I can do

And I will always do my worst
You know I'll rise each day for work
An I will try to do my best for you
ooh
But one day you'll wait for
Someone like me

*KILLER GUITAR SOLO*

Close to home and in your backyard
Yeah when its late and your plants have died you know
I will wait for you ooh ooh
It's all that I can do

And I will always do my worst
You know I'll rise each day for work
And I will try to do my best for you
Ohh
But one day you'll wait for
someone like me

I will wait for you ooh ooh
Its all that I can do

You know I will wait for you
Its all that I can do

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Is NME the only one who thinks that Tom Petty rejigging the theme from Grange Hill might actually a quite good thing? With that in mind, it's entirely possible that you, dear reader, will absolutely loathe this song. It's cheery almost to the point of annoyance, summery to the point of infuriation and as retrospective as cotton picking. Yet, it's weirdly brillant, and for the life of us, we just can't figure out why. BN
