Wait For Me Lyrics

Artist: Hall & Oates
Album: X-Static

Words & Music: D. Hall

Midnight hour almost over
Time is running out for the magic pair
I know you gave the best that you have
But one more chance
couldn't be all that hard to bear.

Wait for me please
Wait for me
Alright, I guess
that's more than I should ask
Wait for me please
Wait for me
Although I know the light is fading fast.

You could go either way
Is it easier to stay
I wonder what you'll do
when your chance rolls around
But you gotta know how much I want to keep you
When I'm away I'm afraid it will all fall down.
Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing
But all the time we spent
It must be good for something
Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating
But you got a lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.

if when he's away, and he's afraid it will all fall down, why does he go away?

does he really want to keep her, or, will he stop disturbing everything?????

In the chorus, the lyric is "...Oh I, I know that's more than I should ask...", not "...Alright, I know that's more than I should ask..."

This is my new favorite song. I know it's old but I just love it. Thanks for posting the lyrics, there were a few I was unsure of. And Aaron thanks for the correction; I agree. I think he goes away because he has to (because he is a musician and has to go on tour?) and if so this is a really sweet song. Or maybe it's more symbolic in that their relationship is not moving forward because they are not where they need to be and they are taking a break. No matter what, it's a great song.
