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
