Do I Wait Lyrics

Cover art for Do I Wait lyrics by Ryan Adams

I think this is a song about unrequited love. Do I wait here forever for you? Would you ask me to? It sounds as if they are apart and he loves her and wants her to be with him. He wants her to show that she feels the same way about him, but the song develops to where there is a sense of inevitability that they won’t make it. Heartbreaking and beautiful.
