*i would really love to see you walk through the door
up on the radio our song played some more
here comes the one drop, my heart it stops as you touch the floor
up on the mountain top our lovers rock is solid to the core*
you're always on my mind let me make up some time
let me tow the line, give me cliffs to climb
i think about the days when we hooked up and played
and all the simple ways you made me want to stay
every way i turn i burn i want to be with you
i'm low i'm lost and longing don't know what to do
and all my thoughts are leading to a darker hue
full of black and subtle tones of blue
so please don't let me go
cause you know i can feel you across the shore
and i and i is we, so i plant the seeds that grow the trees
that put my mind at ease, i like you next to me
i think about your style, it radiates a while
you have the kind of smile i feel despite the miles
so i reach to touch your face with your dress unlaced
i drop to find the place that makes your heart race
every way i turn you burn i want to be in you
i'm low your lost and longing, don't know what to do
and all your thoughts are leading to a deeper clue
full of love and lusting for the next move
