If you wait for me
then I'll come back to you
On my own
On my own Yeah, ayy
And I say
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, ayy
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 'til 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 sweaty
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
On my own
