Text Me When You're Close (version 2)

Verse

Phone on the counter, screen turned down low

Third glass of nothing, jacket still on though

Bassline is ticking like it knows my address

Curtains half open, count down the rest

Your name in my pocket, no ring, just the glow

Nine minutes silent, then a text row by row

Streetlights in puddles where the taxis all slow

Door isn't locked, so hurry up and go

Pre-Chorus

Is it the heat or is it you

Coming up the stairwell, one, two

Heart on the two-step, can't stay still

Tell me you're close, tell me you will

Chorus

Text me when you're close

I'll leave the hallway light on gold

Text me when you're close

Kick off your shoes before you're in the door

Text me when you're close

Skin still cold from the outside cold

Text me when you're close

I'm not waiting, I'm just waiting more

Verse

Kitchen tap dripping like a hi-hat click

Candle's half melted, wax on the brick

Your voice on the last call, breathing through static

Say you're ten minutes, make it dramatic

Neighbors got music through the thin bedroom wall

Same four chords looping down the whole hall

I keep checking windows for your headlights to fall

Shadow on the pavement, that's my curtain call

Pre-Chorus

Is it the heat or is it you

Coming up the stairwell, one, two

Heart on the two-step, can't stay still

Tell me you're close, tell me you will

Chorus

Text me when you're close

I'll leave the hallway light on gold

Text me when you're close

Kick off your shoes before you're in the door

Text me when you're close

Skin still cold from the outside cold

Text me when you're close

I'm not waiting, I'm just waiting more

Bridge

No need for a hello

Just static, then the door

Your key's still in my coat

From the night before

Chorus

Text me when you're close

I'll leave the hallway light on gold

Text me when you're close

Kick off your shoes before you're in the door

Text me when you're close

Skin still cold from the outside cold

Text me when you're close

I'm not waiting, I'm just waiting more
