Wait Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wait, wait, wait
Don't leave me
Wait, wait, wait
Don't leave me
Where you goin'? (Where you goin'?)
Where you goin'? (Where you goin'?)
Why you leavin'? (Why you leavin'?)
(Wait)
I can't lose you (I can't lose you)
I can't lose you (I can't lose you)
Girl, I need you
Girl, I need you
(Wait)
And don't you love me? (Don't you love me?)
Don't you love me? (Don't you want me?)
Guess you don't want me, you don't want me
(Wait)
We back and forth, yeah, this ain't workin', this ain't workin' (This ain't workin')
Love ain't perfect, love ain't perfect
[Chorus]
I'm holding on to pieces of us
That I just can't let go
I know this is a desperate kind of love
But it feels like it's home
Where you goin'? (Where you goin'?)
I'm holding on to pieces of us
'Cause I just can't let go
[Verse 2]
Wait, wait, wait
Don't leave me
Wait, wait, wait (W-w-wait)
What you thinkin'? (What you thinkin'?)
What you, what you, what you thinkin'? (What you thinkin'?)
Where's your mind at? (Where's your mind at?)
(Wait)
Don't you miss us? (Don't you miss us?)
Don't you miss us? (Don't you miss us?)
'Cause you don't call back, you don't call back
(Wait)
Are you happy? (Are you happy?)
Tell me, are you happy? (Tell me, are you happy?)
Are you smilin'? Are you smilin'?
(Wait)
Girl, what happened? (Girl, what happened?)
Tell me, girl, what happened? (Tell me, girl, what happened?)
'Cause I am dyin', I am dyin'
[Chorus]
I'm holding on to pieces of us
That I just can't let go
I know this is a desperate kind of love
But it feels like it's home
Where you goin'? (Where you goin'?)
I'm holding on to pieces of us
'Cause I just can't let go
(Wait)
[Verse 3]
We don't wanna have a conversation
We don't wanna think about it, we just wanna fake it (Fake it)
We just wanna act like everything is great
Go back to the day watchin' movies in the basement
And the problem is now I'm feeling like everything is changed
And I'm trying to make a livin' on the music
But I feel like every time I look at you I'm in a place
It's hard to be the man of the house when you ain't got a house (I hate this)
(Yeah) It's complicated (It's complicated)
It's complicated
We don't wanna talk (We don't wanna talk)
It's complicated
I'm sitting in the hotel room like, "Why?"
I call your phone and apologize
There's gotta be a way we can make this right
We can make this right
[Chorus]
I'm holding on to pieces of us
That I just can't let go
I know this is a desperate kind of love (I know this is, I know this is)
But it feels like it's home
Where you goin'? (Oh, where you goin'? Where you goin'?)
I'm holding on to pieces of us (I'm holdin' on)
'Cause I just can't let go
[Outro]
I'm holding onto pieces of us
That I just can't let go
I know this is a desperate kind of love
But it feels like it's home
Wait, wait, wait
Don't leave me
(W-w-wait)
Wait, wait
Don't leave me

Wait was produced by David Garcia.
What is the meaning of the music video
Presumably after a fight, Nate is in a hotel room thinking about his relationship. Even though he realizes this relationship is not working as he’d wish to, he still has feelings for her.
Who did he write this song about?
NF hasn’t given us the name of who the song is about but we know it is about one of his ex-girlfriends before his marriage to Bridgette. This goes for all of his songs about breakups. He most likely keeps his exes' identities a secret so he doesn’t publicly humiliate them.
