Say Lyrics

Tell me you'll wait outside while the sky is pouring grey
Tell me you'll need to relieve yourself of me as well
Help me to feel unashamed as I leave you up to dry
Try to believe that I need some time not someone else

Right now I can't control me
I don't want to be the one that is holding
But fine if you could wait this out

Say to me you'll wait there forever
And never leave our love behind
Say, oh say you'll wait there, you'll be there
'Cause some day love I'll make you mine
Someday make you mine

Tell me you'll be alright if I put you on the shelf
Tell me that you need to wait for me, not someone else

Right now I can't control me
I don't want to be the one that is holding
But fine if you could wait this out

Say to me you'll wait there forever
And never leave our love behind
Say, oh say you'll wait there, you'll be there
'Cause some day love I'll make you mine
Someday make you mine

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.

Ok, I think this song is about waiting until marriage for sex. Seriously, I do. I think that's what the, "Someday love I'll make you mine" is refering to. Or maybe it's just aout taking a break from someone, but telling them that you do still want to be with them- you need some time.

I personally think that it's about God... He could be referring to a time in his life when he was unsure of God, or he wasnt ready for a relationship like that with God. He wants to be with Him, but he "can't" have one yet. He says "say to me you'll wait there forever"... which is rhetorical because obviously God is going to wait until he is ready to come to Him :) GREAT SONG... get the album... AMAZING
