Long Time
Somme Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I've been waiting for you
You keep saying you wanna get to know me
And I keep asking you to stay
This ain't looking like it's gonna be a sure thing
But I don't wanna walk away

I keep holding
I keep holding your hand in public
And I'm not used to feeling so enchanted
I'm not used to feeling new
I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I've been waiting for you
I don't wanna come between you and your world
Because it spins on its own
You keep saying you don't wanna get too close
But then you can't let go
I don't wanna
I don't wanna go a separated ways
I just wanna take you to space, to space
There you stay
I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I've been waiting for you
I've, I've been waiting for you
I've, I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I was hoping that you'd save me
I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I was hoping that you'd save me
I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for a long time, baby
I've been waiting for you
I've, I've been waiting for you
I've, I've been waiting for you

I've, I've been waiting for you
I've, I've been waiting for you
