​joji – Sanctuary lyrics
[Verse 1]
Go ahead and bark after dark
Fallen star, I'm your one call away
Motel halls, neon walls
When night falls, I am your escape

[Pre-Chorus]
When you lay alone, I ache
Something I wanted to feel

[Chorus]
If you’ve been waiting for fallin' in love
Babe, you don't have to wait on me
’Cause I've been aiming for Heaven above
But an angel ain't what I need


[Verse 2]
Not anyone, you're the one
More than fun, you're the Sanctuary
'Cause what you want is what I want
Sincerity

[Pre-Chorus]
Souls that dream alone lie awake
I'll give you something so real

[Chorus]
If you've been waiting for fallin’ in love
Babe, you don’t have to wait on me

'Cause I’ve been aiming for Heaven above
But an angel ain't what I need


[Bridge]
Pull me oh so close
'Cause you never know
Just how long our lives will be

[Chorus]
If you've been waiting for fallin’ in love
Babe, you don't have to wait on me
'Cause I've been aiming for Heaven above
But an angel ain't what I need

    I think it means giving love without actually aiming for that 'someone' to give it back. That 'someone' is perfect by herself in the guy's pov and won't let her have him coz the girl won't be perfect anymore, he feels undeserved. It's bitter but you'll see smiles at the end, (it will be more bitter if the perfect girl have already fallen in love with the guy AND JUST LET THINGS END WHEN IT NEVER EVEN STARTED YET) This is just my own interpretation.

    This song actually means that joji is singing for someone he loves or the song is pointing out someone he or she loves as the lyrics in verse 2 said "Not anyone, you're the one More than fun. you're the Sanctuary" This could mean that it is singing for someone that joji loves or it depends on how the listeners listen to it and how they describe it.
    It could be the listeners point of view that its a song for someone they love , or for someone that rejected them and still had feelings
