[Intro]
Hands up
Glow on your face
You move
I lose my place
[Verse 1]
You spin past me
Like you own this room
Every small touch
Feels gone too soon
You laugh
I freeze
Heart out of tune
Been standing here
All night
Since noon
[Pre-Chorus]
Every beat says “go”
But my feet stay glued
You look back once
Then fade in the blue
Crowd gets louder
But all I see is you
Counting the seconds
’til I break through
[Chorus]
I’ve been waiting for you
Waiting for you
Right in the middle of this crowded floor
I’ve been waiting for you
Waiting for you
Like every drop is just a countdown more
I’m not leaving till you
Feel it too
I’ve been waiting for you
Waiting for you
[Verse 2]
You brush my arm
Like it’s by mistake
Your eyes ask mine
“Are you gonna stay?”
You pull me close
Laugh in my ear
“Where have you been
This whole damn year?”
[Pre-Chorus]
Every beat says “now”
And my fear cuts loose
Your hand finds mine
Like it already knew
Room fades out
There’s only me and you
Counting the moments
We can run through
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Right here
Right now
Say my name
Over the sound
[whispered vocals]
“Don’t let go”
Say it again
“Don’t let go”
’til the very end
[crescendo]
We jump in time
To the words you say
If the night stops
We’ll make it stay
[Chorus]
