But all, can you...

The colors drCained to black anBbd gray
Oh...

The story behind the song

"Wait For Me" is a slower, more ballad-esque track from Rise Against's album Endgame, a departure from their usual aggressive sound. The lyrics find the singer posing questions and pleading with someone not to give up on him, hinting at a background of a broken home. The band's lead vocalist considered it a fun song to put together, and it came naturally to them, balancing the heavier songs on the album. Playing this song can feel like channeling a heartfelt plea for understanding and persistence.
