Lyrics
Intro - Rhodes, soft claps
(spoken-sung, warm) Been a long way round, but I'm here now
Verse 1 - lead, backing answers
Took my time getting here (backing: oh, took her time)
Wore the wrong shoes for years (backing: mm, the wrong ones)
But the floor still knows my name (backing: knows her name)
And I don't move the same (backing: not the same)
Pre - groove lifts
So play it warm, play it true
I got nothing left to prove
Hook - lead and backing trading, building
I'm gold now (gold now)
Slow grown and I shine (she shines)
Took the long road (long road)
And the long road was mine (it was mine)
Verse 2 - confident
Used to wait for the light (backing: used to wait)
Now I bring my own tonight (backing: brings her own)
Every wrong turn paid its due (backing: paid its due)
Led me right back to new (backing: back to new)
Pre
So play it warm, play it true
Nothing left for me to prove
Hook - fuller, unison climax
I'm gold now (gold now)
Slow grown and I shine
Took the long road
And the long road was mine
(unison, big) the long road was mine
Outro - Rhodes and claps fade
(warm ad-lib) ...mine, all mine. oh.
