Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I checked the little café clock
Three times since I took my seat
The sugar packet folded twice
My coffee’s gone cold beneath me
You said you’d be here at eight
It’s eight-oh-seven, then eight-ten
I’m trying not to make a story
Out of every car that turns in
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the door swings open
And the room forgets to move
I was counting every minute
Now I’m only looking at you
[Chorus]
My heart did a little flutter
Like a bird against my ribs
You were smiling in the doorway
And I forgot what nervous is
I had practiced what I’d tell you
Now my words are out of view
You were only a little late
But I’d wait all night for you
[Verse 2]
You apologized, laughing softly
Said the train held you back
I said, “No, it’s really nothing”
While my hands betrayed the act
You tucked your hair behind your shoulder
Asked me how my day had been
And the whole long hour of waiting
Turned into the best beginning
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a warmth beneath the table
Where your fingers touch my hand
All the plans I made for meeting you
Are melting where they stand
[Chorus]
My heart did a little flutter
Like a bird against my ribs
You were smiling in the doorway
And I forgot what nervous is
I had practiced what I’d tell you
Now my words are out of view
You were only a little late
But I’d wait all night for you
[Bridge]
Maybe timing has a funny way
Of making moments land
A few more minutes on the clock
And then your hand in mine
The city kept on rushing past
But we were taking our time
You looked even more beautiful
Than the picture in my mind
[Final Chorus]
My heart did a little flutter
Like a bird against my ribs
You were smiling in the doorway
And I forgot what nervous is
Now I’m laughing at the silence
Now I’m leaning into you
You were only a little late
But I’d wait all night for you
Yes, you were only a little late
And I’m so glad you came through
[Outro]
The coffee’s cold, the night is new
I’m right here, waiting with you

Style
Contemporary romantic pop with a buoyant midtempo groove, crisp drums, warm bass, glossy piano and clean electric-guitar accents. Begin intimate and lightly nervous in the verse, build with rising synths into a wide, instantly memorable chorus, then add handclaps and layered harmonies for the final chorus. Clear youthful female lead vocal, conversational verses, breathless melodic lift on the hook, polished radio mix with a warm low end and sparkling top.
