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
