I know the night is cold,
And I know tonight you're all alone,
I am on this side of the door but I haven't left the spot I sat on that will make it easier to unlock it.
You are on the other side of the door probably pacing my doorsteps,
You're probably fighting sleep and probably wondering if you should just get in your car and go home.
I've got one hand on the door handle and the other holding my glass of wine.
I've been listening to your apologies but they get faker by the minute,
I rather listen to the sound of the wind blowing though the emptiness that is the other side of my door,
But to be completely honest with you,
I don't want you to leave.
I know I make this hard for you but if you stick around,
I promise it'll be better than the night you first kissed me on the other side of the door after our first date,
I'm scared to hold you close because I never learned how to let go.
And even though I've been gone,
I still need you on the other side of my door.
