When You're Ready
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe I had too many drinks, but that's just what I needed
I hope that you don't think that what I'm saying sounds conceited
When I look across the room and you're staring right back at me
Like somebody told a joke and we're the only ones laughing
Don't know why I try 'cause ain't nobody like you
Familiar disappointment every single time I do
And every single night my arms are not around you
My mind's still wrapped around you
Baby, tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting
Baby, any time you're ready
I'm waiting
Even ten years from now, if you haven't found somebody
I promise I'll be around
Tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting
What if my dad is right when he says that you're the one?
No, I can't even argue, I won't even fight him on it
Call you when it's late and I know that you're in bed
'Cause I'm three hours back, seems like you're always six ahead
And I don't know why I try 'cause ain't nobody like you
Familiar disappointment every single time I do
And every single night my arms are not around you
My mind's still wrapped around you
Baby, tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting
Baby, any time you're ready
I'm waiting
Even ten years from now, if you haven't found somebody
I promise I'll be around
Tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting, yeah
And if I have to, I'll wait forever
Say the word and I'll change my plans
Yeah, you know that we fit together
I know your heart like the back of my hand
So, baby, tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting
Baby, any time you're ready
I'm waiting, yeah
Even ten years from now, if you haven't found somebody
I promise I'll be around
Tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting, yeah
Baby, tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting
Baby, any time you're ready
I'm waiting, oh
Even ten years from now, if you haven't found somebody
I promise I'll be around
Tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
