This song is about a failed relationship, from the point of view of the person ending it. The narrator is unable to match the feelings of their partner, and has decided to leave rather than try to either repair the damage, or pretend that nothing is wrong.
[Verse 1]
Do me a favor just keep me near
Don't you remember when you said what I wanted to hear?
I'm not so clever, but I know it's real
If I left without you, I don't know if I'd ever heal
Where are we now
You've got me thinkin'
Where are we now
[Hook]
We've fallen further from our love
Don't you wait
Don't you wait
From a distance we stopped trying
Don't you wait
Don't you wait
[Verse 2]
You could do better I've tried to be clear
I can be your friend, but that's not what you want to hear
I'm not your answer in time you'll see
You have a future where you won't need to love me
I'm leaving now
Gotta keep moving
And I'm leaving now
[Hook]
We've fallen further from our love
Don't you wait
Don't you wait
From a distance we stopped trying
Don't you wait
Don't you wait
[Verse 3]
I could have stayed there but it wouldn't be fair to you
I could have faked it but I couldn't see it through
We didn't make it, it's better to start new
[Hook]
We've fallen further from our love
Don't you wait
Don't you wait
From a distance we stopped trying
Don't you wait
Don't you wait
