'Don’t Wait For Me To Be What You Want Me To Be' draws inspiration from the 1993 cult movie Falling Down. The song, led by singer Clinton Bell, delves into the complexities of human emotion, exploring the internal conflicts that everyone encounters. The song title itself hints at the central theme, conveying a message about authenticity and not conforming to others' expectations.

The influence of Falling Down is evident in the song's narrative, mirroring the movie's exploration of the struggles faced by the average person. The single confronts the darker voices that can haunt the mind, aligning with the film's themes of idealism, bravado, and the inherent flaws in humanity.

Clinton Bell, reflecting on the creative process, mentions that the band members brought a compelling melody and chords to him. The imagery from Falling Down quickly emerged, but he felt the need to infuse a thread of hope into the narrative. This addition adds a layer of optimism to the song, contrasting with the potentially bleak portrayal of internal struggles. Drawing parallels to the movie's protagonist, Bell notes that while individuals may come close to the edge of breaking, they often refrain from crossing that line, distinguishing them from the character in Falling Down.

The song was engineered by Emily Wheatcroft-Snape at Roundhead Studios, mixed by Scott Seabright (Mumford and Son's, SIX60, Passenger) & mastered by Leon Zervos (Midnight Oil, Aerosmith, INXS).

The single is available March 29 on all streaming services.

Lyrics
I've Got You, A Love So True

Looking back on my life, took so long to get it right
Always, made the wrong choices with the ladies
I was so hard to get along with, had my ways
Took whatever come along yeah
Aaah oooooh, Aaaah oooooh, it’s true

I had my repetitive ways, and I knew
I knew these things I do, made the girls look the other way
So when I got some attention, I grabbed hold
Worst thing, I could ever do, ooooh yeah
Aaaaah oooooh, Aaaaah oooooh, it’s true

Too many failures, so many years
Just about given up, that there would never be
Never be, anyone for me, anyone for me

Then there you were, you were right in front of me
You were patient, you were kind, you understood
I did what I did, so I could be good, ooooh
Aaaaaah oooooh, Aaaaaah oooooh

Now you’re in my life, I have a love so true
I know I make you shake your head
But you just turn and smile, and let me be
With you in my life, I am finally free
You know you are my find, my love
I thought, I would never find, it’s true
Aaaaah oooooh, Aaaaah 

Too many failures, so many years
Just about given up, that there would never be
Never be, anyone for me, anyone for me

Then there you were, you were right in front of me
You were patient, you were kind, you understood
I did what I did, so I could be good, ooooh yeah
Aaaaaah oooooh, Aaaaaah oooooh

I’ve got you, a love so true
