I Will Wait

[Verse 1]

How long has it been since I saw your face?
How long has it been since you left this place?
You're not here, lying in my open arms
It brings about wear and tear on my heart
Nevermind sleeves, I have my heart on my skin
I'm on the verge of tears and my patience is thin
As I sit here, looking at my watch every hour
Would rather keep it in than be called a coward
I’ve ignored all the calls that I had on my phone
I’ve sat staring out of the window all alone
I haven't started drinking though, nor smoking a joint
Place is a mess, really should clеan it at some point
But what's the point when you'rе not here with me?
What? Expect me to let you go? Then wait and see

If another girl will suddenly appear in my life?
Fuck that! You're the one I see being my wife!
All those voicemails I gave you, I give my regards
And I was being serious with the Valentine cards
Your beauty to me was like Heaven's gift
But now I'm singing love stories like I'm Taylor Swift
I'll be ready if you come to me with love to bring
So until that day, I'll just sit here and sing

[Hook]

Baby I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine, it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you

[Verse 2]

And that statement will never change, you see
Hear me when I say (Don't you forget about me)
Without you in my life, I can't be free
Why? Simple. 'Cause you're my (baby)
Hours pass, that surely turn to days
No matter what happens, I'll still (wait)
For the day that you turn and (say)
You can help me when my days turn grey
Before I'm locked away in a catacomb
Dead as a teen from Broken Heart Syndrome
Or end up overdosing on love, it's making me sick
It's not like I'm asking you to jump on my dick!
I'd rather not beat around the bush, I'd cut to the chase
I'll say "I love you" straight to your face
Your beautiful voice always echoes round my head
As I'm currently sleeping alone in this bed

Your name has always been stuck inside my brain
I know, with that last line, I sound rather insane
And I know this next metaphor's gonna sound grim
But in the deep end, I need you, I can't swim!
You're like an angel from above, a diamond in the rough
I'll keep giving you love
But it's like (you're telling me it won't be enough)
So baby, I.....

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Now please, don't get the idea twisted
It's only your love that I've got my wish list
Tears flow downwards like a weeping willow
I cry myself to sleep at night, face in my pillow
I won't move on, to you I'll stay loyal
You'll always be loved like you're royal
Really don't want a one night stand thing
I love you, and I'll continue to sing

(Baby I will wait for you)
And I know that this is nothing new
But…
(Baby I will wait for you)
If it's the last thing I do

[Hook]

[Outro]

Roots: "That sound good mate?"
Si: "Yeah, sounds alright mate, but you know what I think Jack? Ya know, your mixtape?"
Roots: "What's that?"
Si: "You need a few, need a few tunes for the ladies, man."
Roots: "You mean stuff like Beautiful Diguise or Avril or something else?"
Si: "Yeah. Something a bit softer, ya know? Something tender."
Roots: "Like a love song kind of thing?"
Si: "Yeah. Sounds good to me."
Roots: "I haven't sung, but I'll give it a shot."
Si: "Go for it."
