Wait For You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just prayin' you can figure this out
And when there's nothing left, you know I'll still be around
And if all of this is dragging you under
I'll remind you of the world and its wonder
I'm just prayin' we can figure this out

[Pre-Chorus]
These bitter dreams, they seem to last
And even though it's in the past

[Chorus]
I know it's hard for you to talk
Bare your soul and open up
I will wait for you, I will wait for you
Can't pretend to understand
I'll be here to hold your hand
I will wait for you, I will wait for you

[Verse 2]
I can't imagine everything you've been through
You've taken the bad times and made 'em good
'Cause when everything is dragging me under
You remind me of the world and its wonder
And I'm just glad that we have figured this out
[Pre-Chorus]
These bitter dreams, they seem to last
And even though it's in the past

[Chorus]
I know it's hard for you to talk
Bare your soul and open up
I will wait for you, I will wait for you
Can't pretend to understand
I'll be here to hold your hand
I will wait for you, I will wait for you

[Bridge]
I've never met someone as strong as you
I've never met someone as loved as you
I've never met someone like you
I've never met someone like you

[Outro]
'Cause only you could make this into something beautiful
Only you can make a bitter song so sweet
And I can't pretend to understand
But I'll be here to hold your hand
I will wait for you
And oh-oh, I will wait for you

What did Tom Walker say about "Wait For You"?
Genius Answer

A June 2020 Planet Radio article quotes Walker saying:

This is a song about a mate of mine who went through something really traumatic about 15 years ago, it affected him and his family. And it kind of shocked them down to the core. It took them so long to recover, if you fast forward 15 years, you meet this person now, he’s one of the happiest outgoing, loveliest people you’ve ever met and living proof that even when times are diabolically hard you can overcome them. And I kind of thought that message was a good message for right now.
