What Took You So Long
Did you spend your July in 2009
Chasing all of your dreams down, a long way from your hometown?
Did you fall hard in some spring break bar
On a beach in Daytona, drunk on love and Corona?
What did you do with all your hours and your minutes?
Thank God they were bringing you to me, 'cause
Right when I met you, girl, my world started spinning
Time slowed down, all I could think was
What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never letting you go
Oh, but if it had been up to me, then
We'd have met a lot sooner, but God knew what he was doing
Girl, I wasn't ready, but I'm ready now
Forever took forever, now I just wanna slow it down
What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never letting you go
Now, every morning that I'm waking up beside you
Sunshine kissing on your skin
I can't believe that heaven ever let me find you, I've said it before, and I'll say it again
What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never letting you go
Chasing all of your dreams down, a long way from your hometown?
Did you fall hard in some spring break bar
On a beach in Daytona, drunk on love and Corona?
What did you do with all your hours and your minutes?
Thank God they were bringing you to me, 'cause
Right when I met you, girl, my world started spinning
Time slowed down, all I could think was
What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never letting you go
Oh, but if it had been up to me, then
We'd have met a lot sooner, but God knew what he was doing
Girl, I wasn't ready, but I'm ready now
Forever took forever, now I just wanna slow it down
What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never letting you go
Now, every morning that I'm waking up beside you
Sunshine kissing on your skin
I can't believe that heaven ever let me find you, I've said it before, and I'll say it again
What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never letting you go
