Been Waitin' Too Long

Intro

(Yeah) Been waitin' too long, baby

Oh, been waitin' too long

Verse

I sat on this porch swing for a thousand nights

Watchin' taillights fade, holdin' on tight

You were out there runnin', chasin' what ain't real

I was prayin' for the day you'd finally feel

What I've been feelin' since we were kids in the dirt

Kickin' up dust, wearin' out my shirt

But now you're callin', sayin' all the right things

Leavin' me dizzy, caught up in your wings

Pre-chorus

You pull me close, then you push me away

One foot in my heart, the other runnin' astray

I want you happy, even if it's not with me

But damn, baby, why can't it be?

Chorus

You FaceTime at midnight, talkin' like I'm your world

Textin' heart eyes, sayin' I'm your girl

Crazy about me, yeah, you swear it's true

But come Monday mornin' at school, it's "just you"

Friends in the hallway, actin' like we ain't nothin'

Mixed up signals got my head buzzin'

I want the best for you, God knows I do

But I want you too, yeah, I want you

(I want you) Yeah, I want you

Verse

Your voice on the line keeps me up 'til dawn

Laughin' and lovin', like nothin' went wrong

Promise forever, then ghost for a week

Leavin' me wonderin' what I should seek

I pray for your smile, even when it ain't mine

Wish I could let go, but you taste like moonshine

Back and forth, baby, you're drivin' me mad

Best for you hurts, but it's all that I have

Pre-chorus

You pull me close, then you push me away

One foot in my heart, the other runnin' astray

I want you happy, even if it's not with me

But damn, baby, why can't it be?

Chorus

You FaceTime at midnight, talkin' like I'm your world

Textin' heart eyes, sayin' I'm your girl

Crazy about me, yeah, you swear it's true

But come Monday mornin' at school, it's "just you"

Friends in the hallway, actin' like we ain't nothin'

Mixed up signals got my head buzzin'

I want the best for you, God knows I do

But I want you too, yeah, I want you

(I want you) Oh, I want you

Bridge

One day you'll figure it out, or maybe you won't

I'll be here pickin' up pieces, holdin' my own

But tonight I'm just achin', wishin' you'd stay

Love you enough to let you walk away

(Mm-hmm) Walk away

Chorus

You FaceTime at midnight, talkin' like I'm your world

Textin' heart eyes, sayin' I'm your girl

Crazy about me, yeah, you swear it's true

But come Monday mornin' at school, it's "just you"

Friends in the hallway, actin' like we ain't nothin'

Mixed up signals got my head buzzin'

I want the best for you, God knows I do

But I want you too, yeah, I want you

Outro

Yeah, I want you

(Been waitin' too long, baby)

I want you
