In Due Time

Intro (R&B – soft, breathy)
Right here…
mmh… yeah…
I been lookin’ for you…
Everywhere…

Verse 1 – R&B (Her)
Love, I look for you constantly
I search and I search, endlessly
High and low, every street, every face
Even in all the wrong places
Love, I look for your affection
Just one touch, some direction
Something to let me know you exist
To feel that you are the one I miss

(Ad-libs: mmh… right here… yeah…)

But I had to move on
Didn’t know love could be dangerous
All the hurt, all the pain it brings
Had me thinking you were never meant for me

Pre-Chorus – R&B
You whispered in my ear so soft
“Be patient, don’t give up”
Said, “Baby, wait your turn
In due time, love will come”

(Ad-libs: slow down… mmh…)

Chorus – R&B
I was looking in the dark for light
Running from myself every night
Thought love was something I’d never find
Then you said, “Just wait… in due time”
Right here… mmh… yeah…
I feel it in my soul now
Maybe love was never lost
It was just late, that’s all

⸻

Verse 2 – Rap (Him)
I was searching too, broken maps, wrong roads
Every heart I touched left my hands cold
Chasin’ ghosts, thinkin’ love was a myth
Every “almost” left me emptier than this
I tried to rush what wasn’t ready
Tried to pour from cups already empty
Every scar taught me what I ain’t need
Every tear built the man you see

I learned patience in the pain
Learned growth in the rain
Every “no” made room for your name
Every loss rewrote my aim
Now I stand here, open palms
No armor, no alarms
If love’s a risk, I’ll take the fall
’Cause you feel like home in a world this cold

(Ad-libs behind: mmh… yeah… right here…)

⸻

Pre-Chorus – Both
A voice kept whispering deep inside
“Be still, your time will arrive”
Every broken road aligned
To lead us here—right on time

(Ad-libs: just us… hold me…)

Chorus – Both
We were looking in the dark for light
Running from ourselves every night
Thought love was something we’d never find
Then we learned to wait—in due time
Right here… mmh… yeah…
Now I feel it in my soul
Love was never really lost
It was just late, that’s all

⸻

Bridge – R&B (Her, then Him)
Her: I searched the world, thought you were gone
Him: I built these walls, stayed too strong
Both: But love was working behind the scenes
Teaching hearts how to believe

(Ad-libs: slow down… mmh… yeah…)

Final Chorus – Both
We were looking in the dark for light
Running from ourselves every night
Now I know I was never behind
I was just waiting—in due time
Right here… mmh… yeah…
I don’t have to search no more
Love didn’t miss me at all
It just arrived… in due time

Outro
Right here…
mmh… yeah…
Love was never gone…
It was just on its way.
