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
