Hall and Oates - Wait for Me Lyrics Meaning

reminds me of an old flame whose past had caught up with him and he was facing 5 years in prison. Came to me and said I know I've done nothing but give you every reason to walk away. I promise that in all that I've done it was never my intention to push you away, I've given you no good reason not to walk away but if you wait for me i vow to you that you will have no regrets. Long story- I waited for him, we've been married 26 years. He came out of prison, started his own business and never looked back.
