KT Tunstall - It Took Me So Long To Get Here, But Here I Am Lyrics






(Hey yeah, hey yeah-ah-ah)

I took it all, all on my back
I picked it up on my shoulders
Thought it was all, all I could have
And it was better, it was better than nothing
Now I know, I know that isn't true
What have I got to show
After seeing it through
Now I know, I know a few things

And I can feel it
Coming towards me

It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long but here I am)
Everything I tried and
All the things I dreamed of
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
It took me so long to get here but here I am

If I could do it, do it all again
I can't safely say I wouldn't change it
There were things left me feeling ashamed
Like how I didn't stand up for myself
I didn't even try to see the truth
But the truth led to you calling my name

And it shot like an arrow
Into my heart

It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long but here I am)
Everything I tried and
All the things I dreamed of
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
It took me so long to get here but here I am

All my systems were failing
And it didn't seem fair, no it didn't seem fair
But it made way
For something different
I could feel it in the air, feel it in the air

It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long but here I am)
Everything I tried and
All the things I dreamed of
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
It took me so long to get here but here I am

It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long but here I am)
Everything I tried and
All the things I dreamed of
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
It took me so long to get here but here I am

Here I am
Here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
Here I am
(It took me so long but here I am)
Here I am

  7. G.... M....

    Wow this is sweet

  8. L.... A....

    I love her authenticity and the sound of her voice. I always have. I love the artist who are not at all like all of the cookie cutters.

  9. F.... T....

    Sounds like a Sara Bareilles song, it's nice!

  10. C.... M....

    Is it? Is that... Pastel?

    OMG, I'm in prison!

    No, wait. I meant, it's been so long...

    Dreams are the things that the bad guys in life taunt you with.

  11. J.... D....

    Che video puccioso

  12. �.... ....

    途中の絵は、ウンコ💩ですか?

    👍👌💐INDIA

  26. k.... ....

    FAKE. They aren't playing their instruments, and I bet those aren't real squids either.

  27. a.... t....

    KT keeps it real, she doesnt have to take her clothes off, or spend millions on videos. she is brilliant. i wish more people listened to real music like this.

    a.... t....

    People act like they want real music but still somehow end up listening to Cardi B all the time. Maybe we'll figure things out and music will be more...personal again.

  28. T.... W....

    I bleed red.....

  29. M.... K....

    love me some KT!

    it sucked

  46. e.... f....

    this song plays at my work and it makes me wanna kill myself lol

  47. J.... C....

    The weekend of July 8th 2017, I was in Kings Lynn Norfolk to visit a friend, she went and performed at Festival Too. She performed this exact song telling the audience to sing along. It was a free entry but I would have paid! She was amazing, I'd never really listened to her before

  48. C.... ....

    I listened to some of her older material, and she has voice that stands out that jst passes into star quality half the time. I think this type o tune is not a good direction for her. Her voice i think could stand out better if she went with more all out blues, cuz the part that stands out in her voices is a rustic nature.

  49. M.... G....

    Amazing as usually, xoxo from Chile <3

  50. I.... Y....

    COOL :)

  51. N.... S....

    I hope she keeps the new music coming!

  52. S.... W....

    Glad to see ya KT!!! Saw you in a small venue in Spokane, my little daughter loved you. Great music, thank you.

  53. i.... f....

  54. P.... M....

    Sounds a lot like Tegan and Sara

  71. T.... A....

    Look at all these Shiny Happy People!

  72. B.... K....

    the video is simply cheesy. the music is like something from the mid nortys. pritty average really. I think Tunstalls career ended about 2010. sorry 7 years too late.

  73. C.... ....

    Never heard about her before but i really like this song!

    C.... ....

    I just found out about KT about a year and a half ago but she's no doubt my fav singer now ;)

  75. w.... j....

    Cracking tune,one that will get stuck in the head for weeks

  76. R.... D....

    Exuberant, joyful and poignant - KT, you've pierced my heart. Thank you!

  92. I.... F....

    best album of 2016 and the best song on kin great video as well

    I.... F....

    I like this one and "Maybe it's a good thing" the best I think. And KIN is beyond the best in 2016 imo.

  93. C.... P....

    we have the same last name

    C.... P....

    Lol cool

  94. 1.... 2....

    Awesome - such good vibes +1 :)

  95. S.... ....

    Yeah it's really a good song... i like this musical orientation and mood on this album
    Around 1:10 Those moves seems more Status Quo than 80s Judas Priest ?
    + a bit of Pete Townshend at the end ? This song makes me happy :-)

  96. I.... F....

    the best song on kin look forward to seing kt in warrington next may
