Wait For Me Lyrics


Gonna open my heart, out of the scars and listen up
Gonna do what I'm told, though I'm told and listen up
Take a shot in the rain, one for the pain and listen up
I traveled the way

Wait For Me, wait for me
Oh, it's all better now, it's all better now
Wait for me, wait for me

Gonna soften the blow, soften the blow and give it up
I saw the surprise, the look in your eyes, I gave it up
Gonna be who I am, be who I am, and give it up
I traveled the way

Wait for me, wait for me
It's all better now, it's all better now
Wait for me, wait for me
Oh, it's all better now, it's all better now
Wait for me, wait for me
Oh, it's all better now, it's all better now
Wait for me, wait for me

It's all better now, it's all better now
Wait for me, wait for me
Oh, it's all better now, it's all better now
Wait for me, wait for me
Oh, it's all better now, it's all better now
Wait for me, wait for me
Oh, it's all better now, it's all better now
Wait for me, wait for me

Wait For Me
  • Over shuffling drums and languid guitars, this song finds Caleb Followill pleading with his lover for forgiveness. It is one of a number of tracks on Mechanical Bull where Followill is laying himself on the line and using music as an agent of healing. "Really, I was writing to myself, like a journal," he told The Daily Telegraph, "saying stuff I felt I needed to say, and needed them to hear."

    Don't Matter Lyrics


    Such a swine, lips like wine but it Don't Matter to me
    Take a turn before I burn and it don't matter to me
    Like a snake awake and vague, it don't matter to me
    I can fuck or I can fight, it don't matter to me

    'Cause it's always the same
    And I'm always the same, whoa

    Uncle Sam, he looks ?, but it don't matter to me
    I don't know where I'm gonna go, it don't matter to me
    You could be ? my seed but it don't matter to me

    'Cause it's always the same
    And I'm always the same, whoa

    I'm not a man everybody said but it don't matter to me
    I get her feet on my seat but it don't matter to me
    Break my heart tear me apart, it don't matter to me, no no
    I put a shine in your eye it don't matter to me

    'Cause it's always the same
    And I'm always the same, whoa

    Don't Matter
  • This energetic track was one of the last songs laid down for Mechanical Bull and was written and recorded in less than two hours. Drummer Nathan Followill told Jam! Music : "We took a page from Queens of the Stone Age's book and from beginning to end kept a beat that was pulsating. It was one of those things where it was over before it even began. We were like, 'Holy s---! That's a kick ass song but that's a single-worthy song!' That's one that literally developed out of thin air."
  • Guitarist Matthew Followill described this Punk powerhouse song of self-loathing to Reuters as, "the hardest rocking song that we've ever done, and it's the fastest, so that's new for us."
  • Vocalist Caleb Followill recalled to Billboard magazine that the band penned this after realizing that they needed a rocker. "We've got a lot of mid-tempos, but we needed something that rocks really good," he said. "Me and Matthew sat there and came up with a riff in about 15 minutes, and I just went in there and just sang it off the top of my head. We played it three times and we ended up keeping the first take."

    Family Tree Lyrics


    I tell you now that I don't understand
    Why everybody gives a big hi-damn
    Oh where I'm going to
    Don't mean a thing to you

    I see you sitting in your masquerade
    I'd love to pour you some of my lemonade
    And get it off alright
    We're caught in an early night

    I know you hate me so, but I ain't gonna go
    I'm staying here all right

    I am your Family Tree
    I know your A to Z
    This is a secret proposition lay your hands on me
    Not gonna talk about darlin', its so neighborly

    I see your hands are shaking but
    My heart is breaking me down

    Its a pretty day and I'm gonna get alright
    I lost my head and you ain't nowhere in sight
    I see you got it all wrong
    I got no calls on my phone

    I just keep holding out, until I find a doubt
    That you ain't coming home

    I am your family tree
    I know your A to Z
    This is a secret proposition lay your hands on me
    Not gonna talk about darlin', its so neighborly

    I see your hands are shaking but
    My heart is breaking me down

    I am your family tree
    I know your A to Z
    This is a secret proposition lay your hands on me

    I am your family tree
    I know your A to Z
    I got a secret proposition lay your hands on me

    I am your family tree
    I know your A to Z
    This is a secret proposition lay your hands on me
    Not gonna talk about darlin', its so neighborly

    I see your hands are shaking but
    My heart is breaking me down

    I see your hands are shaking but
    My heart is breaking me down

    Family Tree
  • Frontman Caleb Followill explained the song's meaning to The Sun: "While you'd expect the track 'Family Tree' to be about family, it's a song I wrote about a lot of stereotypes about the South," he said. "It's got humor in there, I hope. Even with my personal stuff I try to have fun – the hook of the chorus to that song is a joke."
  • The hip-shaking boogie shuffle has a louder, looser feel than most of the tracks on Kings of Leon's previous Only By The Night and Come Around Sundown sets. Drummer Nathan Followill told Rolling Stone: "'Family Tree' is a song that sounds like we picked up our instruments and went with a groove, and that's pretty much exactly how it happened. That song embodies the headspace we had going into that record."
  • Lead guitarist Matthew Followill told Billboard magazine that this is a weird song for him to play. He explained: "It's so rhythm heavy that there's not a lot of space for anything else, everything's covered. There's nothing I can do that sounds cool, it sounds cool just being like it is, with just the bass and the drums it sounds great. So I didn't write any big parts for that, a lot of it is kind of noodling."

    Temple Lyrics


    The dance floor's a temptress
    Can't make out what your saying

    But you rub me the right way,
    With your child-like persuasion

    I got my hands in my pockets
    And I'm crossing my fingers
    She'll find I'm a simple
    Stone washed up and so slow

    I'd take one in the Temple
    I'd take one for you
    I'd take one in the temple (temple)
    I'd take one for you
    I'd take one in the temple (temple)
    I'd take one for you

    I feel all amiss now
    I'm tossed in the scatter
    And your eyes keep on shifting,
    To the boys that don't matter
    I've got my hands in my pockets
    I'm still crossing my fingers

    I'd take one in the temple
    I'd take one for you
    I'd take one in the temple (temple)
    I'd take one for you
    I'd take one in the temple (temple)
    I'd take one for you

    I've got my hands in my pockets
    And I'm crossing my fingers
    I just want to be noticed
    I just want to be noticed

    I'd take one in the temple (temple)
    I'd take one for you
    I'd take one in the temple (temple)
    I'd take one for you
    I'd take one in the temple
    I'd take one for you oh
    I'd take one in the temple (temple)
    I'd take one for you

    Temple
  • This song about taking a shot in the head for a prospective lover was penned in a South African hotel room. "Obviously things changed when we got in the studio, like the intro, but it felt like a '90s song to me," vocalist Caleb Followill told Billboard magazine. "That's when we were listening to a lot of music, and still when we play it, we crack up the whole time, this the most radio friendly song…"

    The Mechanical Bull Deluxe edition bonus track "Last Mile Home" was penned the same night.
  • According to drummer Nathan Followill, the breakdown in the song is the band's ode to Irish rockers Thin Lizzy.
  • The band have performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live.
  • The song's music video splits between sepia-toned Super 8 footage shot around the band's home town of Nashville and shots of an in-studio performance of the song. "The Super 8 footage was shot by the band, myself and director Paul Greenhouse on the day of the video and the days leading up to it," said Casey McGrath, chief creative officer at the Phear Creative, the agency behind the clip. "Nashville (is a) part of the band's life that is extremely near and dear to their hearts."

    A Prince and two Princesses of Leon can be seen on hand in the studio: Caleb's daughter Dixie, Nathan's daughter Violet, and Matthew's son Knox.

    On The Chin Lyrics


    There's this boy I know whose afraid of the ocean
    Never quite found love he drank the love potion
    I'll be on the chain smoking in the basement
    Shattered like the windows

    All my life I was born to lead
    Worry not just leave me be
    I'll abide till the end
    I'll take it On The Chin for you my friend

    Find my bag of bones at the back of the station
    Said make yourself at home
    So I started day drinking
    Till I believe in time after 7 8 or 9
    You fall yourself to pieces

    All my life I was born to lead
    Worry not just leave me be
    I'll abide till the end
    I'll take it on the chin for you my friend

    All my life I was born to lead
    Worry not just leave me be I'll abide till the end
    I'll take it on the chin for you my friend

    I'll take it on the chin for you my friend
    I'll take it on the chin for you my friend

    On The Chin
  • Caleb Followill's lyrics for this whiskey-soaked Country number were inspired by the support he's got from his buddy, JD. He explained to Billboard magazine: "We've always been each other's best friends, because that's all we had. We were picking up and moving, every town we went to we knew we weren't gonna be there too long, so we knew, 'don't make too close of friends, and don't fall in love.' Being in Nashville, I finally had a buddy outside of the band, and he was just kind of always, no matter what you need, he's there. He's just a good guy. And that song kind of came at a time when I needed a friend, and I wrote it about him. And he's scared of the water. He's scared of sharks."
  • For bassist Jared Followill, the song can be interpreted as being about the mutual support the family members have for each other. He told HitFix : "So many of our songs can be interpreted in so many different ways. At the time you can actually write something and it can be completely abstract to you at the time and then a year later, something will happen to you and and you'll listen back and be like, 'Wow, that song sounds like it was written perfectly for the situation.' But that song, particularly, the way Caleb started writing those lyrics, it was for one of his friends, his buddy, JD. It's actually about that, then you hear it and it can mean so much. It can fit so many different situations. It can be for all of us together, it can be for our wives. I like songs that are open to interpretation."
