About This Track

NoMBe's 'Wait' turns on a familiar tension: the desire to hold a moment close against the knowledge that it will slip away. The song circles around an unresolved attraction, a friendship that might become something more but never quite does. There's a weariness in the refrain, a sense of pressure that builds each time the other person leaves, offset by the insistence that as long as they're together, time can be suspended. The track builds its emotional weight through repetition rather than narrative clarity. The chorus loops its plea to make things last forever, to keep the night young, until the phrase becomes both a wish and an admission of futility. What emerges is less a story than a state of mind: the particular exhaustion of wanting something you cannot name, of knowing someone so well and so incompletely at once.

"Wait" is a single by NoMBe, released 17th January 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Wait

I won't wait this time
No, not now, not again
Not much longer
Heavy weight works my
Mind all night, it's so hard
Not to ponder

Let's make it last forever
'Cause the night's still young
It's true, I feel the pressure
Every time you're gone
As long as we're together
This moment lasts forever

And what will she say
Would my heart be torn?
Maybe the same helps to keep her warm
Maybe she's too shy to comment
21 and too hard to call it

Let's make it last forever
'Cause the night's still young
It's true, I feel the pressure
Every time you're gone
As long as we're together
This moment lasts forever

Let's make it last forever
'Cause the night's still young
It's true, I feel the pressure
Every time you're gone
As long as we're together
This moment lasts forever
