Lyrics
Intro
(oh-oh, oh-oh)
Verse
Papers stacked high on the kitchen table
Months turn to years in the quiet ache
Dreams in a suitcase, heart on the line
Holding space for a face I’ve never seen
Pre-chorus
Every night I whisper to the dark
Come on home, come on home
Chorus
Worth the wait, worth the wait
Every mile, every late
Worth the wait, worth the wait
You were always worth the wait
(da da da, da da da)
Verse
Phone rings at midnight, voice on the line
Sudden yes after all that time
Suitcase ready, ticket in hand
Running toward the life I planned
Pre-chorus
Every night I whispered to the dark
Come on home, come on home
Chorus
Worth the wait, worth the wait
Every mile, every late
Worth the wait, worth the wait
You were always worth the wait
(da da da, da da da)
Bridge
Tiny hands reach up, eyes meet mine
All the empty filled in one small sign
No more counting days or praying for a sign
You’re here, you’re real, and you are mine
Chorus
Worth the wait, worth the wait
Every mile, every late
Worth the wait, worth the wait
You were always worth the wait
(da da da, da da da)
Outro
(oh-oh, oh-oh)
Worth the wait
