About This Track

'Wait Up' by Hurts is a 2017 pop track from the album 'Desire'. The lyrics set a late-night taxi scene, with the narrator passing an apartment at four in the morning and looking for direction as a repeated cycle leaves them hollow. There is a sense of uncertainty about where it all leads, and a tentative, apologetic readiness to come when asked, summed up in the line “So if you want me”.

"Wait Up" is a track by Hurts, from the album Desire, released 28th September 2017. The track is 4:08 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Hurts.

Lyrics

Wait Up

It's four in the morning
We pass by your apartment
There's a candle in the window
Is happened again
I don't know where it ends
But it always leaves me hollow
The driver asks me which way to go
And I'm staring at my phone in this taxi cab

So if you want me then I'm sorry
I'm coming home so wait up for me
'Cause I feel shameful and so unholy
Unlock the door and wait up for me
Wait up for me

I pull up on your street stinking of whisky
And wipe the lipstick from collar The more I cheat the more
I lie the more it eats me all up inside
And I wonder why I bother
I've still got your perfume on my coat
And I'm staring at my phone in this taxi cab

So if want me then I'm sorry
I'm coming home so wait up for me
'Cause I feel shameful and so unholy
Unlock the door and wait up for me
Wait up for me
Wait up for me baby
Wait up for me
Cos I'm coming home
I'm coming home

If you want me then I'm sorry
I'm coming home so wait up for me
Cos I feel shameful and so unholy
Unlock the door and wait up for me
Wait up for me
