Ten Years (Finally)

Verse 1

Saw you in the corner light, summer in your eyes

Every almost, every maybe, every wrong-time goodbye

I kept you in a heartbeat, tucked under my skin

Nine years of quiet wishing, never knowing when

Late nights, different roads, different names on your phone

I learned how to want you from a distance alone

Every time you laughed, the room fell out of tune

I told the stars, one day soon

Pre-Chorus

I tried to move on, tried to let it fade

But some sparks don’t die, they just wait

Drop

Ten years in the making

One look and it’s breaking

All the time I was patient

Now you’re here, no debating

Hands shaking, heart racing

Every dream activated

I wanted you forever

And forever finally started tonight

Verse 2

Now you’re in my kitchen at 2 a.m.

Bare feet dancing to a song we didn’t plan

You say my name like you always belonged

Like the universe waited just to press play on us

All the wrong turns led me right here

Every missed chance sharpened this fear

That if I blink, you might be gone

But you pull me close and prove me wrong

Pre-Chorus

I was holding space, you were doing the same

Two fires learning how to share a flame

Drop

Ten years in the making

One touch and it’s changing

All the nights I was aching

Now your love’s detonating

No more almosts or waiting

This is real, uncontainable

I wanted you forever

And forever finally started tonight

Bridge

If time could talk, it’d say “I knew”

Every second was leading to you

Not too late, not too soon

Just right, just us, just truth

Build

Lights up, hearts open

Every doubt broken

This beat, this moment

I’m all in, no holding

Final Drop / Outro

Ten years in the making

Now we’re done with the chasing

Every dream I was saving

Is alive and awakened

I wanted you forever

And forever found me in you

(beat fades, synth echoes)

Yeah…

I waited

And you were worth every second
