I'll Be Waiting - Adele
Hold me closer one more time,
Say that you love me in your last goodbye,
Please forgive me for my sins,
Yes, I swam dirty waters,
But you pushed me in,
I've seen your face under every sky,
Over every border and on every line,
You know my heart more than I do,
We were the greatest, me and you,
Pre-Chorus
But we had time against us,
And miles between us,
The heavens cried,
I know I left you speechless,
But now the sky has cleared and it's blue,
And I see my future in you,
Chorus
I'll be waiting for you when you're ready to love me again,
I put my hands up,
I'll do everything different,
I'll be better to you,
I'll be waiting for you when you're ready to love me again,
I put my hands up,
I'll be somebody different,
I'll be better to you,
Let me stay here for just one more night,
Build your world around me,
And pull me to the light,
So I can tell you that I was wrong,
I was a child then, but now I'm willing to learn,
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Time against us,
Miles between us,
Heavens cried,
I know I left you speechless,

I know I left you speechless,
I'll be waiting,
CHORUS
Hold me closer one more time,

You know my heart more than I do,
We were the greatest, me and you,

I feel like it is a reference to her relationship with God. She has put distance between them, but she feels He is pulling her back to Him.
