Wait for Me (Sedona) | A Love Song About Healing Together

“WAIT FOR ME (SEDONA)” (Official Lyric Video) — a true-story love song about trauma, healing, and the night we finally found room to share years of fear. WAIT FOR ME — I'M RIGHT HERE After a near-fatal heart attack, I came home wanting closeness. Eileen carried the fear of nearly losing me—and losing me again. Trauma left us reaching for each other from opposite sides of the same experience. Years later, four hours on a Sedona couch—laughter, tears, kisses, and truth—gave us space to say what everyday life kept moving past. When Eileen said, “Wait for me,” those words named the love we needed: don't run ahead; stay beside me. No perfect answer—just each other. JOIN THE LOVE REVOLUTION • Make room for the truth • Listen for the fear beneath the words • Stay when healing takes time • Let vulnerability draw you closer • Say, “Wait for me”—and answer, “I'm right here” This song reflects my book, A Life That Looks Like Love: love becomes visible when we stay through fear, listen without fixing, and walk at another person's pace.

LYRICS [Verse 1] Red rocks fading underneath an Arizona sky We left the others at the house and let the evening pass us by Van Gogh was on the television, music filled the room Two people on an old couch wondering when the night would bloom They said give it forty-five, an hour should be enough You looked at me and laughed and said, “I don't think I feel much” You reached to text your sister, I said, “Give it fifteen more” Neither one of us could know what waited at the door [Pre-Chorus] Then you hit send And I leaned my head back slow Something came rushing through me And all I said was— [Chorus] “This feels amazing” You smiled and said, “Wait for me” Like somehow in those three small words Was where we both were meant to be Wait for me I'm almost there There's so much I've been holding There's so much I need to share And somewhere in Sedona With nothing left to hide You said, “Wait for me” And I was right there by your side [Verse 2] You sent another message saying, “Katie, we're okay” The Epsom salts had finally found us in their own sweet time and way We laughed about the waiting as our worries slipped away And somewhere between kisses, we found four hours to say The things that don't come easy when the daylight's moving fast The fear that lives inside you when you've almost lost your past You told me you were terrified you'd lose me once again And I held you while you showed me where that fear had always been [Pre-Chorus] There were tears and there was laughter There was nothing left to prove Just you and me together With enough room for the truth [Chorus] “This feels amazing” You smiled and said, “Wait for me” And soon we were both somewhere We had needed years to be Wait for me I'm almost there Let me tell you what I've carried Let me show you why I'm scared And somewhere in Sedona The walls came down that night You said, “Wait for me” And I held on to you tight [Bridge] I'd already almost left you once Though neither of us chose that road I woke up from that hospital But you still carried what it stole I came home wanting closeness You were scared to lose me twice And love was there between us But fear can make a heart think twice Then four hours on a couch Became more than just a night You let me see the fear you'd held And I could finally hold it right No fixing you No fixing me No promises that pain would cease Just laughing, crying, holding on And finding our way back to peace [Final Chorus] “This feels amazing” You smiled and said, “Wait for me” And now I hear those words so different Than I heard them in Sedona Wait for me Don't run ahead Stay beside me through the living After everything we've bled Wait for me I'll wait for you Through every fear we haven't named And every road we're walking through Because somewhere in Sedona On the best night of our lives We didn't find some perfect answer We just found each other inside With Van Gogh on the television And the desert dark and deep You whispered, “Wait for me” And baby— I'd wait forever if you needed me. [Outro] Wait for me I'm right here Wait for me I'm right here Sedona in the rearview But that night is still right here CREDITS Song & lyrics: John Harrity Visuals: Moonlit Sedona desert lyric-video background © 2026 John Harrity.
