I went back to the place
Where I first saw your face, yeah (yeah…)
Same time, same block
But it don’t hit the same, no (nah, nah)
I was hopin’ I’d catch you
Maybe finally say what I should’ve said (should’ve said, baby)
But you weren’t there
Guess I’m the only one still
Holdin’ onto what we had (holdin’ on, yeah)
It hurt ‘cause I know I messed it up (messed it up)
Played around when I should’ve grown up (my fault)
If I had one more chance
I’d do it right, no second guessin’ (no, no)
Yeah, I learned my lesson (learned it now)
Pre-Chorus
They say you don’t know what you got
Till it’s walkin’ out the door (out the door)
And now I’m stuck right here
Missin’ you more than before (more and more)
Chorus
I promise I’ll wait for you (I’ll wait, yeah)
No matter how long it takes (long as it takes, baby)
I’ll be right here, same place (right here)
If you ever come back my way (come back to me)
I’m always thinkin’ ‘bout you (all night)
Every memory won’t fade (won’t fade, no)
I promise I’ll wait for you (I swear)
Girl, I’ll be here (right here)
No matter how long it takes (yeah, yeah)

Yeah, I’m searchin’ everywhere (everywhere)

If you ever miss what we had (if you do)
Just know I’m right here waitin’ (right here)

I’m always thinkin’ ‘bout you (on my mind)
Every memory won’t fade (won’t fade)
I promise I’ll wait for you (I swear)
Girl, I’ll be here (right here)
No matter how long it takes (yeah, yeah)
