If you wait for me
Then I'll come back to you
On my own, on my own (Yeah)
And I say, (Ayy)

Back in 2012, school bells would send us out at lunch
Talk under the tree about our favorite shows and stupid ones
Parents sat me down one night, told me that we couldn't stay
Went to bed thinkin' about you, woke up on a plane, ayy
Wish I never left, 'cause you took away my breath
You can say that we were young, but, me and you were meant
For eternity, no surgery could take you off my heart
Just hang onto my words and we'll make it through this part, yeah

If you wait for me
Then I'll come back to you
On my own, on my own
And I say, (Ayy)

I've been waitin' for this day to come, it's finally gettin' closer
On our way to graduate and then I'll be heading over
You my treasure, I'm your soldier, stay up till the night is over
We talkin' on the phone
But want your head between my shoulders
Savin' up for a ticket on the side, been a minute of our time
When I see you, I might cry, no lie, that's on my gravestone
Promise me you'll stay close, days without you, yeah, I hate those
Ayy

If you wait for me
Then I'll come back to you
On my own, on my own
And I say
If you wait for me
Then I'll come back to you
On my own, on my own
And I say

Plane ride to your city, took an Uber to your house
Yeah, (To your house)
Had to keep it secret from you, did it unannounced
Doorbell, parents saw me, sat me down on the couch
Talked to them about my life, they told me they were truly proud
Two knocks, door open, you were standing there with him
So shocked, I don't get it, can we run it back again?
Room spinning, palms seaty, but I'm sober
"I've been in love with you forever"
Is what I wish I would have told her

If you wait for me
Then I'll come back to you
