Until I Get There

from Misadventures by Candace Griffin

about

I wrote this for a friend that I love very much. It's the hopeful side of a situation we were in. It still makes me happy when I play it.

lyrics

If I have to say goodbye to you in one more parking lot
I don't think I can say goodbye at all.
Cuz I just can't take how you make everything stop.
And I hate I wasn't there to help you through the fall.

I don't wanna be a complication. I've jumped the gun before.
But you have my dedication. And if you ever want, something more.

Don't think there's something wrong with your heart.
That's all I want. Until I get there, keep it strong.
If I believed you needed me for one minute, that's all it would take for me to get there. Hold on.
This love for you is strong.

I didn't open the door, I just pointed you towards one.
And it's up to you if you wanna walk through.
And I've kept this locked up for so long.
But I'm no longer afraid of what you might do.

This isn't my big proclamation. That can wait a little while.
My life's been all about hesitation. But I'd pay to see you smile.

Don't think there's something wrong with your heart.
That's all I want. Until I get there, keep it strong.
If I believed you needed me for one minute, that's all it would take for me to get there. Hold on.

This love can wait until you're ready, when your mind is clear, your feet are steady, when everything is the sky is aligned, whenever you think there's a good time...

Don't think there's something wrong with your heart.
That's all I want. Until I get there, keep it strong.
Hold on. No it won't take long.
If you told me you might need me, then I'd be there tomorrow, believe me. Until I get there, hold on. It won't take me long.
Until I get there, hold on.

"Alternative and folky, Candace Griffin's music comes straight from the heart. As a songwriter, she takes inspiration from the life around her, and with honest words and acoustic-driven emotions, she puts her listeners right in the moment. You'll think the songs were written just for you." (Bio by Caitlin Wildhagen) ... more
