Intro (Clean, guitar picking that provides a rhythmic foundation before the full grrove kicks in. A warm synth pad swells in as the bass hits a steady, walking groove.) (Spoken) Yeah... How long is too long? I’ve been living in a world that hasn't happened yet. Check it. Verse 1 I check the clock, but the hands don’t move Just another hour stuck in this groove Of imagining your keys against the door The kind of magic I’ve been hungry for. I’ve got the table set for two in my head Replaying every single word you never said The calendar’s a ghost, just pages on the wall I’m standing by the phone, waiting on a call… that I haven't earned yet. Pre-Chorus (Harmonies swell) They say patience is a virtue, but it feels like a weight I’m tired of negotiating with the hands of fate. I’m a mile deep in a minute-long stare Reaching for a hand that just isn’t there. Chorus (Heavy bass pop, high energy funk) I’ve been waiting a long, long time Just trying to make the reality fit the rhyme. I’m dreaming you’re here, right by my side With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Yeah, I’m dreaming you’re in my life right now Don’t ask me when, and don’t ask me how— I’m just yearning for the day the dream wakes up. Verse 2 I see your silhouette in the morning light But it fades away when I open up my sight. I’ve memorized a laugh I’ve never even heard Chasing the feeling, catching every word. It’s a marathon, baby, and I’m out of breath Loving a shadow almost half to death. The world keeps spinning at a hundred and eight But I’m stuck in the lobby, just learning to wait. [Guitar solo] ( (Guitar with a harmonized guitar style, layering multiple melodic lines to create a "choir-like" effect ) Bridge (Music strips back to just drums and a funky, melodic bass solo) One year... (Still dreaming) Two years... (Still leaning) On a hope that’s a little bit thin But I’m ready for the moment that you walk on in. (Guitar solo: Harmonized, distorted, soaring over the pocket) Chorus I’ve been waiting a long, long time Just trying to make the reality fit the rhyme. I’m dreaming you’re here, right by my side With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Yeah, I’m dreaming you’re in my life right now Don’t ask me when, and don’t ask me how— I’m just yearning for the day the dream wakes up. Outro (Vocal ad-libs) Don't let me go on dreaming... (Be my lady, be my light) I’ve been waiting... such a long time. (Fade out with syncopated percussion and synth flourishes)
