Lyric discussion by tomtimothy 

Cover art for Wait lyrics by Alexi Murdoch

just like all of alexi's songs, this is both extremely calming and reassuring

for me i think that this is about his head being neither here nor there or more to the point, in both places simultaneously - hes 'on the verge of some great trail' yet he 'can hardly leave [his] room' ..and although not asking for help ..for directions out of this dilemma, hes simply asking for reassurance that the people (or girl?) will still be by him after everthing blows over

..but thats just my interpretation, its probably wrong
