When You're Ready

(album: Shawn Mendes - 2014)

Maybe I had too many drinks, but that's just what I needed
I hope that you don't think that what I'm saying sounds conceited
When I look across the room, you're staring right back at me
Like somebody told a joke and we're the only ones laughing

Don't know why I try 'cause ain't nobody like you
Familiar disappointment every single time I do
Every single night my arms are not around you
My mind's still wrapped around you

Baby, tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting
Baby, any time you're ready
I'm waiting
Even ten years from now
If you haven't found somebody
I promise, I'll be around
Tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting

What if my dad is right when he says that you're the one
No, I can't even argue, I won't even fight him on it
I call you when it's late and I know that you're in bed
'Cause I'm three hours back, seems like you're always six ahead

I don't know why I try 'cause ain't nobody like you
Familiar disappointment every single time I do
And every single night my arms are not around you
My mind's still wrapped around you

Baby, tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting
Baby, any time you're ready
I'm waiting
Even ten years from now
If you haven't found somebody
I promise, I'll be around
Tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting, yeah

And if I have to, I'll wait forever
Say the word and I'll change my plans
Yeah, you know that we fit together
I know your heart like the back of my hand

So baby, tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting
Baby, any time you're ready
I'm waiting
Even ten years from now
If you haven't found somebody
I promise, I'll be around
Tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting, yeah

Baby, tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting
Baby, any time you're ready
I'm waiting, oh
Even ten years from now
If you haven't found somebody
I promise, I'll be around
Tell me when you're ready
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
