about

These lyrics are based on an email I received from an ex-fiance. We had split up tragically and I tried to reconnect after 10 years of silence. Her email back simply read:
"Dear Joe, I am glad you are doing well out there in LA. Please do not write me anymore. M_"
I was both elated and crushed that she wrote.
I must have read that email a hundred times. Eventually, the email folded into a lyric, scribbled in a book and left unfinished for another 7 years.

Eventually I revisited that old note book, searching for inspiration. There I found the lyrics to "Wait Until". After reading them again, I realized it was perfect for this tune.

lyrics

NOTHING TO DO BUT WAIT
WAIT UNTIL
I KNOW YOU’LL COME
‘CAUSE YOU SAID SO
‘CAUSE YOU SAID YOU WILL

COMING TO PICK ME UP
YOU’LL TAKE ME OUT OF HERE
YOU’LL TAKE ME FAR AWAY
SO FAR AWAY
TO ANYWHERE

I’M NEEDING YOU

LATER YOU WROTE ME BACK
WROTE ME BACK
AFTER FIVE LONG YEARS OF
WAITING
WAIT UNTIL

(YOU WROTE)
GLAD YOU'RE DOING WELL
GLAD YOU'RE DOING WELL OUT THERE IN LA
BUT WHY
DO YOU
WAIT UNTIL?

I’M NEEDING YOU

(YOU WROTE)
PLEASE PLEASE
DON'T WRITE ME ANYMORE
DON'T WAIT UNTIL
DON'T WAIT UNTIL

PLEASE PLEASE
DON'T WRITE ME ANYMORE
EVEN THOUGH I SAID I WILL
DON'T WAIT UNTIL

I’M NEEDING YOU
