It Took Me Awhile

I got a story, it's my story
about a woman who's been waiting so long
for you to find me, sneak up behind me
I'm was alone cause I was doing it wrong
I tried but boy it's taken awhile

I looked high, I looked low
you ran away ten years ago
I was a ruin, nothin' doin'
and now we're dancing
you're mine but man it took you awhile

here's a story another story
about a guy that wasn't ready for love
for it to find him, sneak up behind him
he started running when it gave him a shove
I'm back but boy it's taken awhile

If you were a flower or if you were a tree
You would stand a chance to get a glance from me
one night you walked me to the center of town
I remember hoping that I'd see you around
I've got lots of class and I've got lots of style
if you wanna dance with me it'll take you awhile

ten years ago I was a different man
if you walked up to me I wouldn't take your hand
not the kind of guy that you wanted to know
just pass right by ten years ago
but after one dance you know I'm starting to smile
and the ice is all melting but it took me awhile

your mine, but man it took us awhile
