[Verse 1] Put on your worst jeans
And meet me in the living room
I have a bottle of red wine that's waiting for you
Let's sit on the floorboards
And put on some tunes
Argue about what kind of wallpaper we will use

[Chorus] We've waited a long time for this
And now we are on our way
We have to be patient, dear
'Cause home wasn't built in a day

[Verse 2] Let's dance in the kitchen
A night on the tiles
So we can feel something that we haven't felt in a while
Let's put up that picture
Of you and our friends
Then discover that that bastard boiler is broken again

[Chorus] We've waited a long time for this
And now we are on our way
We have to be patient, dear
'Cause home wasn't built in a day

[Post-Chorus] La, la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la

[Verse 3] We're hoping for good times
We've been hanging horseshoes
I can tell you
That there's no room for sadness under this roof
We filled it with music
And plants we've grown
Maybe one day
We could share this space with some kids of our own

[Chorus] We've waited a long time for this
And now we are on our way
We have to be patient, dear
'Cause home wasn't built in a day
