Rise Against - Wait For Me Lyrics






Do you see the world in different colors?
Do you see the world in black and gray?
Alone in your thoughts
How many others have stood where you stand
Where you stand today?
Have stood where you stand
But, oh, can you

Wait for me now?
To take off this crown
To break all these vows
Don't you know?
Wait for me now
The air's running out
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me now

A promise of safe return I delivered
But the ocean is wider than I first guessed
When roads disappeared, I followed the rivers
But somehow got in over my head
So a deep breath I'm taking

Wait for me now
To take off this crown
To break all these vows
Don't you know?
Wait for me now
The air's running out
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me now

A lost dream of what could have been
A house on fire, a tangled web
The key turns to find the locks all changed
In time to hear the back door slam
A sound that to this day I can't forget
The colors drain to black and gray

Wait for me now
Take off this crown
To break all these vows
Don't you know?
Wait for me now
The air's running out
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me now

  1. D.... ....

    so awesome

  2. J.... M....

    Finding this song by googling the lyrics is hard as fuck when all you have stuck in your head is the "do you see the world in different colors" part.

  3. E.... M....

    I will wait

  4. D.... S....

    I want to fall inlove but I got no one to love me

  5. J.... 1....

    Esta canción se la dedicaré a las personas que creen en mi cuando me haga soldado.

  6. f.... ....

    I used to love you... wait for me now

  7. S.... P....

    “Legendary music is made of things such as this right here”

  8. Z.... R....

    Avengers: Endgame fits this entire masterful album

  9. R.... C....

    any of their songs, find better lyrics Gahd Damn my dudes!!!!!

  10. A.... E....

    I am an individual who travels through time and space via the power of the internet. If I find something of value to me, I like and subscribe; as it is the most I can do.

  11. F.... V....

    One of my favorite songs ever! ♡

  12. D.... �....

    Danke alina

  13. C.... V....

    The number of people at the bottom of the comments that reply and argue with each other without actually replying is amazing.

  14. R.... T....

    Found this song (and this band) by watching a porn video of a threesome and hearing this song playing on the peoples stereo. Thank you porn, for introducing me to this great band.

    R.... T....

    I hear ya lol

    R.... T....

    The most random way to find the most amazing band ever.

    R.... T....

    I love this song

  20. L.... S....

    Is that Joe Principe's or Zach Blair's backing voice singing (wait for me now)?

  21. E.... B....

    what is this song about, give me your interpretations?

    E.... B....

    For me this song speaks about the journey of life and being lost in it, being defeated, having nothing to look for and falling into self-loathing and cynicism and wearing a crown of bitterness. Yet he is still trying to figure life itself.

    E.... B....

    Woah teach me master!

  22. d.... ....

    the greatest way to listen to this is when you're driving in the country side its like a movie almost (its how u found this song tbh thank u radios)

    d.... ....

    depression_session I have never heard any rise Against songs on the radio, outside of Pandora, of course.

  23. Y.... ....

    I know that there are different interpretations of this song, but I have always used it to cope with my husband's deployments. To me, it is about a service member who is asking for his loved one to wait for him while he's gone.

  24. I.... C....

    Wait for Bacon. Bacon Game, End Bacon... Bacon's guilt... XD

    I.... C....

    @David Cox Bacon's Coup, Bacon is On The Way

    I actually do see the world in different colors. I'm colorblind.

    C.... ....

    +ChaseUbito Cut the red wire! Which ones the red one!?

    C.... ....

    Normal colorvision: Green, redish green, brown, greenish red, red.

    Colorbline: Green, some mix of red and green?, dark red?, slightly less dark red? red? ... The first one was green right?

    C.... ....

    ? How do you know ?

    C.... ....

    @Helo XIII there's special tests to determine these things... Never heard of 'could you read this number?' and it's a dotted picture of 2 colours and a number in one of them

  26. M.... R....

    Does anyone else think this track woulda suited better as an acoustic?

    M.... R....

    Im glad that i was of help to you and that you could make sense out of my way to read the song :) Dont apologize im able to understand you without any troubles, i appreciate you taking the time to reply and you put a smile on my face :)

    F.... ....

    I relate to it in a different way like my sister died 5 years ago and like I went through a huge grief faze about it but you know I'm better now but I still miss her loads

    F.... ....

    I thought this song was straight up about suicide I'm maybe I've been a little bit more exposed to death than most people I meet both in real life and online but I don't have to agree with you on some of your statements about depression I guess in some ways suicide and depression go hand-in-hand don't they

    F.... ....

    FISK one of the best bands ever period

    F.... ....

    it's about war. just listen closely and you'll see

    Found out about these from hearing their song Satelitte (which is one of my favorite songs from them) on my local radio station. I am mainly a heavy metal guy but thise group puts out some good tunes... And i grew up on Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera.....

  83. F.... ....

    Am I the only one whose a little insulted by seeing Michell Bachmann advertizements on this song? In this, I would be ultimately disgusted to imagine ANYONE finding any favor in such a wretch of a creature. Such a liar deserves to be forgotten, not praised on ANY level...

  84. c.... ....

    yeah...bro lay off the meth...and the crack...and the shrooms...and the ecstasy and hydros...oh and the-...nevermind marujana's okay :)
