[Verse 1]
In the beginning
Like a movie
Wanted to hold you
Was just a friend

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When we were hanging
I was dreaming
Of you and I
Every night

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I always knew it was a matter of time
That you would see what was in front of your eyes
This is our story
You and I
Bring it to life

[Chorus]
I've been waiting
For this moment
And you never knew-hoo
I wanna hold ya'
I gotta tell ya'
That it's always been you-hoo
That it's always been you-hoo
I've been waiting
For this moment
And you never knew-hoo
I wanna hold ya'
I gotta tell ya'
That it's always been you-hoo

[Verse 2]
I first saw you
From the bleachers
At 17, babe
It felt so right

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When we were hanging
I was dreaming
Of you and I
Every night

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I always knew it was a matter of time
That you would see what was in front of your eyes
This is our story
You and I
Bring it to life
[Chorus]
I've been waiting
For this moment
And you never knew-hoo
I wanna hold ya'
I gotta tell ya'
That it's always been you-hoo

That it's always been you-hoo
I've been waiting
For this moment
And you never knew-hoo
I wanna hold ya'
I gotta tell ya'
That it's always been you-hoo

[Bridge]
(I've been waiting)
(For this moment)

[Chorus]
I've been waiting
For this moment
And you never knew-hoo
I wanna hold ya'
I gotta tell ya'
That it's always been you-hoo
That it's always been you-hoo
