I Was Waiting For This Love - Salotune (lyrics)

I used to sit by the windowpane Watching the world spinning through the rain Wondering if there was a spark meant for me Or if a quiet heart was all I'd ever be I kept the doors locked, I drew every line Just skidding by on my own borrowed time Then you walked in like a morning sun Softly undoing what the dark had done No rushing your steps, no demands in your eyes Just a gentle truth cutting through the disguise And the very first time that you called out my name Every old shadow just faded away Oh, I was waiting for this love The kind that fits just like a glove Not a storm in the night, but a steady sweet lie Bringing the weary heart back to the light Through all of the tears and the years turning gray I didn't know it, but I was paving the way For the moment you'd hold me And I'd finally know I was waiting for this love All along Now we're just sitting on the living room floor I don't have to wonder or wish anymore It's in the way that you laugh at my jokes And how you stay close when the winter wind blows A beautiful safety I never had known With you every piece of my heart is back home Oh, I was waiting for this love The kind that fits just like a glove Not a storm in the night, but a steady sweet lie Bringing the weary heart back to the light Through all of the tears and the years turning gray I didn't know it, but I was paving the way For the moment you'd hold me And I'd finally know I was waiting for this love all along Every dead end and every wrong turn Every little lesson I had to learn They were just steps on a winding track Leading me here and I'm never looking back Yeah, I was waiting for this love The kind that fits just like a glove Not a storm in the night, but a steady sweet lie Bringing the weary heart back to the light Through all of the tears and the years turning gray I didn't know it, but I was paving the way For the moment you'd hold me And I'd finally know I was waiting for this love all along No more waiting, I'm finally home I was waiting for this love
