Wait For Me Lyrics

It's like everything turned into a dream
A dream without an end
I can't remember what happened
I just remember you
And how you made me laugh out loud
When you decided to go,
I wish I could have gone with you
I don't like it here anymore
And I don't like being alone
And when I cry
Who's going to make it okay?
When I fall, who's going to carry me?
Tell me what I've done.
Tell me what are we gonna do?
Tell me what I've done.
Tell me what are we gonna do now?
Why!

Take me now and climb to fly
To a higher place where love won't die
We've got something to say without a sound
Tell me what, tell me what are we gonna do now?

Lay ourselves under ground
Tell me what are we gonna do now?
Lay ourselves under ground
Now tell me what's happening to me?
I know something is killing you
Take my life,
Sliding into the blue now
I know something is killing me
Take your life,
I am waiting for you
You.

Wait for me.
I'm alive because I'm dying with you
Wait for me.
I'm alive and I am dying with you

Break away to emergency
You're taking hearts are flying with me
I believe what you say, so say it loud
Tell me what, tell me what are we gonna do now?

Lay ourselves under ground
Tell me what are we gonna do now?
Lay ourselves under ground
Now tell me what's happening to me?
I know something is killing you
Take my life,
I am counting on you now.
I know something is killing me
Take your life
I am waiting for you
You
Wait for me.
I'm alive because I'm dying with you
You
Wait for me
I'm alive and I am dying with you

Break away to emergency
You're taking hearts offline with me
I believe what you say, so say it loud
Tell me what, tell me what are we gonna do now?

Lay ourselves under ground
Tell me what are we gonna do now?
Lay ourselves under ground
Now tell me what's happening to me?
I know something is killing you
Take my life,
I am counting on you now
I know something is killing me
Take your life
I am waiting for you
You
Wait for me
I'm alive because I'm dying with you
You
Wait for me
I'm alive and I am dying with you

Everything is so beautiful here
It's just like you promised

A whole new world begins with you
A whole new world

But I'm alive and I am dying with you
You wait for me
I'm alive and I am dying with you
You wait for me I'm alive and I am dying with you

This really is a truly beautiful piece of songwriting and music. And that incredible scream at the beginning sends a shiver down my spine.

To me this song portrays one of the most awful things in love - death - in a beautiful and almost happily-toned way. It depicts how couples may love each other so strongly, so fiercely, that they are willing to die for a chance to join their lover in some other world.

On a more analytical note, this could also be seen as depicting the delirium and denial of loss that comes with severe grief. How some people partially lose their mind when their lover is gone.

My great-grandparents were together for over 60 years and my widower great-grandfather survived only a few weeks after his wife's death. He didn't have to live with the pain for long, or maybe he lived for her. At the time I saw this is tragic but now I realise it is actually quite a beautiful way to end your lives together. This song portrays this perfectly.

My Opinion

The North Halsted Market Days on August 13, 2011 Carah introduced this song saying "This songs going to be called Wait For Me. It's about being willing to do anything for love."

I guess it's about being apart. And being split apart by death - and what lies beyond life. Will your loved ones be waiting for you on the other side?

The 'Whhhhyyyyyy!' is really quite amazing. I don't think I've ever heard such emotion in a scream. Why did you go? Why did you die? Why am I alone?

Anyway - I love the last chorus, when they both chime back in at the same time.

My Interpretation

Also I think it might be "You're taking hearts offline with me"

What do you reckon?

Lyric Correction

I think it's "Your ticking heart's offline with me"

Wait jk I think it's "your taken heart's offline with me"
