Antoinette

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah… Eighteen years, girl… And somehow, after all this time, I’m still looking at you the same way I did back then. [Verse 1] I remember the first day that I saw your face, Something in my heart said, “She’s the one I’d chase.” But I kept it quiet, let the years roll by, Watched you from a distance, feelings never died. We had them bar talks, talking 'bout our lives, Laughing through the darkness underneath the lights. Never called you mine, never crossed that line, But every time I saw you, you were still on my mind. [Pre-Chorus] Eighteen years and the feeling's still strong, Maybe all this waiting wasn't really wrong. 'Cause a few nights ago, when I held you close, That first kiss had my whole body feeling those ghosts. [Chorus] Antoinette, I’ve wanted you for so long, Eighteen years and somehow the feeling got strong. That kiss sent shivers running down my spine, Made me wonder why I waited all this time. We used to share bar talks late into the night, Now I'm hoping we can share something deeper tonight. No more wondering what we could be, Antoinette, come take this chance with me. [Verse 2] I know we never had the title or the ring, But I can't keep pretending you don't mean everything. Every little smile, every word you say, Got me wishing I could have you closer every day. And I don't wanna rush what we've waited so long to find, I just wanna give you this heart of mine. If you feel the same, baby, let me know, 'Cause I'm ready to take this love where it's never gone before. [Bridge] From bar talks… to pillow talks, From “maybe someday”… to “let's give it a shot.” I don't need forever figured out tonight, Just give me your hand and let me hold you right. 'Cause when you kissed me, girl, something changed, Eighteen years suddenly didn't feel so strange. Maybe all those years were leading me here, Maybe the woman I've always wanted is finally near. [Chorus] Antoinette, I’ve wanted you for so long, Eighteen years and somehow the feeling got strong. That kiss sent shivers running down my spine, Made me wonder why I waited all this time. We used to share bar talks late into the night, Now I'm hoping we can share some pillow talks. No more wondering what we could be, Antoinette, come take this chance with me. [Outro] Eighteen years… And I never stopped loving you. Maybe I was just waiting for the right moment. And baby… I think that moment is now.
