"Breathe air you're not used to, tread floors you don't fall through
Make waves
You crash a cymbal hard
Follow no one, always play the wrong card
Waste days, in foreign places
Shed lights, on your better side
Reassure me that you'll wait for me, wait for me as long as it takes"
This stanza, to me, is all about experience new and good things. It's exciting and different, and when she asks the person to wait for her, it seems as though this might be something new that she's expecting or asking for.
"And I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath"
I think this is one of the more important lines in the song (it is the title) and it's about waiting, which is what the song seems to be about. The theme and idea of waiting is seen throughout, not just when she says "wait for me", but also in the chorus.
"Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us"
This is about wonder and waiting, how powerful their love could be. It is a speculation at this point, something that hasn't happened, but will eventually.
"You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears we'll blow them all way
we'll blow them all away"
This is where she affirms how much she loves who ever she's talking to. The only one she'll do all these things for.
"Fight fires in your best clothes, touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder
With the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wander to the next town
Force quit, on your losing streak
Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we're still too young, that we're still too young and I'll hold my tongue"
This is similar to the first stanza, doing things that are odd and out of the norm, but seem fantastical and wondrous. The last line hints to wanting again — waiting till their older to be together, and even though she disagrees with this, she'll hold her tongue, probably out of respect and love for the other person.
"I'm here, I am here to take you
I'll swim, I will swim to save you
No fall, I am here to catch you
I'll swim, I will swim to save..."
This stanza, to me, is a reassurance, tackling the issues of 'being too young' and waiting, for even if they are too young and need to wait, she'll be there, willing to do what she needs to in order to save her lover.
This song is awesome and I love it, it's very simple but holds a lot of power and wonder.
