Lyrics
Verse
I was late from a north-wind jobYou were on the porch with a stubborn sobThen you stood up mad and you stood up kindThat’s a rare combination to find
Chorus
You’re the one who waited, I’m the fool who ranStill you met me like a better manThe one who waited took my handThe one who waited, here I amcrowd singing along
Verse
I promised less and you asked for moreThen you opened up the kitchen doorCoffee, silence, a look that saidCome home right or don’t come to bed
Chorus
You’re the one who waited, I’m the fool who ranStill you met me like a better manThe one who waited took my handThe one who waited, here I amcrowd singing along
Verse
I sold the extra miles I used to chaseI learned the shape of your waiting faceIf I leave again I leave a noteAnd I keep the promise that I wrote
Chorus
You’re the one who waited, I’m the fool who ranStill you met me like a better manThe one who waited took my handThe one who waited, here I amcrowd singing along
Outro
Thank GodThe one who waitedcrowd singing along
