Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Met you when I was just nineteen Laughing in that noisy bar Cheap drinks Big dreams You said “One day This might be us” I smiled Said “I can wait ” tried to hide the rush [Pre-Chorus] All those birthdays Candles blown Watching you love her Walking home alone Still your name stayed on my tongue Every slow dance in my head since we were young (since we were young) [Chorus] It was worth the wait Every wrong bed Every blind date Every long walk home too late Just to end up here Your hand on my waist It was worth the wait All those years my heart on hold Still awake Now your hoodie on my chair Your toothbrush by my sink Twenty years of almost Gone in one blink (oh) [Verse 2] You rang me up Just “fancy a drink?” Same old corner table Same old link But your hand stayed longer on mine this time You said “I’m done pretending you’re just a friend of mine” [Pre-Chorus] All those photos on my phone You with someone I’d crop me alone Now your suitcase by my door You’re cooking eggs in my T-shirt on the floor (hey) [Chorus] It was worth the wait Every wrong bed Every blind date Every long walk home too late Just to end up here Your hand on my waist It was worth the wait All those years my heart on hold Still awake Now your hoodie on my chair Your toothbrush by my sink Twenty years of almost Gone in one blink [Bridge] Who knew the boy from the back of the bus Would be the man I trust with all this stuff The spare key The bad days The rent My name We took the long way round But we got here just the same (oh yeah) [Chorus] It was worth the wait Every wrong bed Every blind date Every long walk home too late Just to end up here Your hand on my waist It was worth the wait All those years my heart on hold Still awake Now your hoodie on my chair Your toothbrush by my sink Twenty years of almost Gone in one blink (It was worth, it was worth, it was worth the wait)

Bouncy UK garage groove with shuffling 2-step drums, bright female vocals, and thick, dirty bass drop in the hook. Verses ride swung keys and light organ stabs; pre-chorus lifts with big piano chords and rising pads, then chorus explodes into an epic, emotional piano lead over a wobbling low end. Extra stacked harmonies on the title line, playful ad-libs, and a euphoric final chorus repeat., bassline, uk garage, happy
