The wait is the whole point.
About This Song
Living in the space between wanting and having.
Most records rush to the part everybody already knows. This one doesn't. It sits in the week before — the text she read four times, the hour she spent getting ready for a night she already knew how it would end.
Anticipation isn't the wait for the good part. It's the reason the good part lands.
Official Lyrics
We waited all week for this…
So don't rush me now
I want the whole night
You been thinking 'bout this since Monday night
Reading my texts like they dimmed the lights
Counting down hours, playing innocent games
But your voice gave away what your lips wouldn't say
I see that look, you already know
One step close and your breathing goes slow
You want me now, but I love that ache
So I make you beg soft, then I make you wait
Let the tension climb
Let it crawl up your spine
Let the room disappear
Till you're only mine
You can say please
You can say my name
But I'm still gonna smile
And make you wait
We waited all week for this night
Bathtub warm in the candlelight
Champagne poured by the fire bright
I'm gonna take my time, take my time
Make you reach, then pull away
Make you beg, then make you wait
When I finally give you what you need
You'll still be feeling me into next week
I don't need daylight, I know where to go
Find every place that you never show
Reading your body like a secret prayer
Every shiver says I'm already there
Your pride falls first, then your guard comes down
Soft little sounds when I turn you around
I'll tell you when. I'll tell you how.
I'll tell you when you're allowed to make a sound.
I'll tell you when that ache gets set free.
Right now the only thing you say is please.
I don't ask twice when I see what you need
One look from me and you're down on your knees
Let the tension climb
Let it crawl up your spine
Let the room disappear
Till you're only mine
You can say please
You can say my name
But I'm still gonna smile
And make you wait
We waited all week for this night
Bathtub warm in the candlelight
Champagne poured by the fire bright
I'm gonna take my time, take my time
Make you reach, then pull away
Make you beg, then make you wait
When I finally give you what you need
You'll still be feeling me into next week
Wear the memory when the morning comes
Like a secret across your tongue
Like the night still living between you and me
I'll leave the ache somewhere you can't reach
Leave my name where you barely speak
No need to tell them where you've been
They'll see the fire underneath your skin
We waited all week for this night
Bathtub warm in the candlelight
Champagne poured by the fire bright
I'm gonna take my time, take my time
Make you reach, then pull away
Make you beg, then make you wait
When I finally give you what you need
You'll still be feeling me into next week
All week for this…
Say please again…
Not yet…
I'm still taking my time.
Keep Listening
