About This Track

Released as the lead single from BROCKHAMPTON's debut studio album 'Saturation' in May 2017, 'FACE' marked the boyband's arrival with a slow-paced vulnerability that set them apart from their peers. The music video premiered before the song reached streaming services, part of a weekly rollout that saw the group drop successive visuals throughout the month.

The track pivots around a pleading chorus, members trading verses that map the uncertain terrain between desire and mistrust. One voice asks what the other is waiting for, promising devotion; another admits to trust issues and the impulse to withdraw. The production stays measured, giving space to lines about tidal waves and cold sweats, the warmth of shared beds set against the loneliness of waking alone. It is tender without being soft, the range of voices lending the subject a collective weight rather than a solo confession.

"FACE" is a single by BROCKHAMPTON, from the album SATURATION, released 8th June 2017. The track is 4:19 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about BROCKHAMPTON.

Lyrics

FACE

Tell me what you're waiting for
I just wanna love you
Tell me what you're waiting for
I just wanna hold you
Tell me what you're waiting for, huh
I just wanna love you
Just wanna hold you, never would lie to you
Tell me what you're waiting for, huh
What you waiting for?

It feels like I can see the past in your eyes
I know the future has been passing you by
These other niggas, they just passing your time
They don't know how to ride the tidal waves
That crash in your thighs
But I got the dream, and if you believe
Then I can take you somewhere that is pristine
I'm keepin' it clean, my title is mean
They boxin' us in but we broke out the seams
Don't make me a fiend, I know what I want
I'm workin' to get everythin' that I need
But I got a plan for you
I'm takin' a stand for you, I care for you

What's your motive with me, baby?
'Cause I don't trust nobody lately
I twist and turn, moving just like a serpent
New times are coming just like a virgin
Get you all outta my head,'cause lately I'm better off dead
I say this all out of respect, sometimes, I want nothing with you

Wearing your love like medallions
'Cause I know thousand men want ya, wants the menages
Fucking, riding shotgun, slap your buns
Melting, fading, under stars and the sun
85, 90, gon' bust out the gun
Know they sent me from the neck of the woods
Change my name, state so they never could

Tell me what you're waiting for
I just wanna love you
Tell me what you're waiting for
I just wanna hold you
Tell me what you're waiting for, hun
I just wanna love you
Just wanna hold you, never would lie to you
Tell me what you're waiting for, hun
What you waiting for?

I need a friend (I need a friend)
And you need a home (you need a home)
I love when you come (I love when you coming)
I still feel alone
You make it warm in my bed, butterflies in my head
Sunrise, let it set

But you don't love me like you say you do
White lies hold the hidden truth
You keep leaving when I need you most
It's true what they say about
Love had and love lost, here you are and now you're gone
I'm left alone in the same bed, I wake up in a cold sweat

Please don't make me wait long
I just wanna be your main one
Your main, your main one, mm-mm
See, I don't want nobody, but you, mm-mm
See, I don't want nobody, but you-u-u, mm-mm
I spent the day by my lonesome
Who do you call when there's no one?
No one ever did what you did for me and did to me
My bed is cold and indented where you used to sleep
Tell me what you're waiting for, shit
Tell me what I'm here for

Tell me what you're waiting for
I just wanna love you
Tell me what you're waiting for
I just wanna hold you
Tell me what you're waiting for, huh
I just wanna love you
Just wanna hold you, never would lie to you
Tell me what you're waiting for, huh
What you waiting for?
