I'm awake and tired and it's 7am and I'm doing 25.
I try to sleep but it's no use since I've been thinking about you.
The rain outside is falling slower than the motion of my car.
And I can proudly say out loud that I've been waiting for you to come.

I know it's a bit too early to tell, but I think I may want you here.
The future's dark and storms are rolling in, so now I need you close.
I want to see you with nothing in the way, not even distance.
I want to see you walk into my room wearing nothing but my clothes.

When it's late, when it rains, when it snows, when it's cold
I want to pull you into me.
When you wake, when you dress, when you cry, when you stress
Well, I will pull you into me.
You surely are not looking
For something old again.
You surely are not thinking
About being alone again.

My window's frosted over and I can not seem to find my way back home.
Maybe if I had some direction, something to pull me there.
If you were waiting for me when I finished working, I would sing
And draw a bath for the two of us to share, the two of us to share.

I don't mean to make you feel obligated to be in my life.
You'd make me proud if I could see you succeed within my own walls.
I could find a place where we wouldn't be surrounded by the wastes.
And if you ever felt the need, I'd be behind you and I'd let you fall.

When it's late, when it rains, when it snows, when it's cold
I want to pull you into me.
When you wake, when you dress, when you cry, when you stress
Well, I will pull you into me.
You surely are not looking
For something old again.
You surely are not thinking
About being alone again.

It's too cold to wake up
Let's stay under covers.
It's far too cold to get up
So let's stay under the covers.
For Lita.
