Subproject commit 3a5b6f955f7b2c0595139ee2eb0d9162a9bd7303
I’m tracing every shadow that is dancing in this room
Just waiting for the moment you come breaking through the gloom
I’m counting cracks in the ceiling till I finally see your face
Craving the quiet fire of your slow and warm embrace
I left the front door open and the porch light burning bright
I’ve got a feeling we’ll be making trouble through the night
Your favorite cotton shirt is sitting at the edge of the bed
And I’m just smiling at the wicked thoughts inside my head
I can almost hear your footsteps slowly walking down the hall
And every time I hear your voice, I answer to the call
The embers in the fireplace are turning into red
And all the things I want to do are rushing to my head
Oh, I’m counting cracks in the ceiling, waiting on the dawn
Ready for the moment with my favorite record on
The thought of your sweet kisses pulls me closer to the edge
I’m falling for you deeper on this solitary ledge
Yeah, I’m waiting on you, darling, in the quiet of the night
Waiting for you, darling, till the morning light
The whiskey in my glass is gone, but I’m drinking in the view
Of every single picture that I ever took of you
I’m picturing the way you always let your hair fall down
The most intoxicating beauty in this sleepy little town
Now I can feel the temperature beginning to rise
Just imagining the starlight shining in your eyes
The embers in the fireplace are turning into red
And all the things I want to do are rushing to my head
Oh, I’m counting cracks in the ceiling, waiting on the dawn
Ready for the moment with my favorite record on
The thought of your sweet kisses pulls me closer to the edge
I’m falling for you deeper on this solitary ledge
Yeah, I’m waiting on you, darling, in the quiet of the night
Waiting for you, darling, till the morning light
Counting cracks in the ceiling, waiting on the fire
Every shadow in the room is burning with desire
Sayed is just a whisper in the quiet of the night
When we’re tangled in the dark until the morning light
No one else can pull me close and take me to the edge
Falling into passion on this solitary ledge
I can almost feel your breath against my skin right now
Come a little closer, let the morning show us how
Oh, I’m counting cracks in the ceiling, waiting on the dawn
Ready for the moment with my favorite record on
Your lips are all I need to pull me closer to the edge
I’m falling for you deeper on this solitary ledge
