Temper Trap, The - I'm Gonna Wait Lyrics






Way down in a not so distant place
Your ghost is lingering
Still frames remembering the way we were
Way down see reflections in the well
A distant haunting bell
Resounding every time I touch you in my mind

Helpless, prayers cannot speed the time
Nor ever change the mind
Left to our wrong device we set this bridge alive
One day, you may not know it yet
This you won't forget
I was the one who came running back again

[Hook x2:]
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

My arms are reaching out for you
Each time I think of you
Flood gates open and I'm left drowning
And although, it lingers in my sleep
May you return to me
Not to possess but to hold you in my keep

[Hook x2]

And so the last page shall remain
Empty until you write the rest
Yes, some may say that I'm a fool
A fool for waiting for you

[Hook x2]

I'll be your fool, a fool who waited for you
When you come falling, I'll be here still waiting for you

    If you look upon the sunset its the time When i wake up for the last
    Dont loose your hope and move on to your life

  17. a.... H....

    wow! great

  18. G.... P....

    What are the string instruments used in this? (Sorry, I'm musically dense, but I love that subtle sound in the background)

    G.... P....

    I'm sure that they are electronic. It could also be a guitar. But if it would be real strings, you would use a violin or maybe a cello.
    (sorry for my bad english, I'm german)

    G.... P....

    +Gemma Pettersen Its probably guitar bcoz temper usualy use delay guitar #like u2# with electronic ofcourse.. but they have different sound

    G.... P....

    On guitar: Delay + reverb = ambient swells

    G.... P....

    3:07 <3

  19. B.... Z....

    what an beautiful song with real emotions for us emotional people this is life! :-)

    B.... Z....

    BetterCall Zhann (for us emotional people) dang thats does define us

    B.... Z....

  20. L.... M....

    Apparently this song is about someone who has lost a loved one was a big believer in god and heaven but they wasn't and now they've lost that person they want to believe but they're still in two minds if it exists or not so they are gonna wait out of hope until the person they lost comes to them in a spiritual manner and proves there is a god and heaven.

    B.... P....

    +cessationem Bon Iver and James Vincent Mcmorrow are the ultimate angels of music.

  22. u.... ....

    This is absolutely gorgeous, and his voice....perfect.

  23. B.... R....

    Looks like I'm waiting another year till Coachella 2016 or something on the West Coast USA to see you guys. 5 years and counting. Its funny cause I've waited since the end of middle school, threw high school, and now college to see you guys. The new album is in the works and if it releases in the Spring like the last one, the band lined up perfectly to have Golden Voice contact you guys or vise verse.

  24. E.... M....

    Powerful temper trap

  25. B.... R....

    So uh I'm back. AGAIN! And Coachella 2015 is 5 months away and uh well GET YOUR ASSES HERE! Listen, whether you get here or not I'm always gonna be a fan.

    B.... R....

    B.... R....

  26. G.... B....

    This song describes my life - my love leaving to go overseas :'(

  27. f.... ....

    Can't help but harmonize to this song when I'm singing along. :)

  28. B.... R....

    No! Why didn't you come to Coachella Fest 2014! We let you guys slide last year because you went to Rockness BUT this year of Coachella Fest too. :( Ok story time, It was 2010 Coachella Fest. While waiting for Bassnector show to start we looked for new cool bands and we stumble across a new Australian band just starting their show. Long story  short ever since that faithful day in 2010 my friends and MANY other people have fallen in love with your music. Obviously ,still to this day, my friends and i listen and enjoy your music and would appreciate it if you guys could come 2015. Thank you in  advance if you come. Better yet THANK YOU if you even read this far into my lesser, post.

  79. D.... ....

    I really want to let you guys know that I really admire you guys and this album. When everyone wanted more Sweet Disposition stuff, you guys moved right on like artists should and made the kind of music you were drawn to. You didn't just make what the fans wanted, but you pushed them into different territories and showcased some new sounds. Job very well done indeed!
