[Verse 1] Funny how a window changes Once you know what you’re looking for Your porch light came on just after mine Like a hundred nights before But tonight I caught you watching And you didn’t look away Neither did I, for a second Then I smiled and made you wait [Verse 2] Next morning I took my coffee To the steps outside my door You found something on that old truck That needed fixing one time more I watched you underneath that hood Pretending you couldn’t see Every time you raised your head Your eyes came back to me [Pre-Chorus] We’ve gotten good at almost At maybe, someday, might Two front doors and twenty yards Can make a mighty long divide [Chorus] So who’s gonna cross the street? Who’s gonna make the first move? We’ve worn a path with just our eyes But neither one has worn out shoes You stay there and I’ll stay here We can wonder what could be But knowing you feel what I feel Changes everything for me [Verse 3] By evening clouds were gathering Thunder rolling somewhere west Rain came down against the pavement And wouldn’t let the question rest You were sitting on your front porch Watching lightning split the dark I was standing at my window With that same old racing heart Then you looked up And found me there This time I didn’t disappear [Instrumental — Slow Electric Guitar / Rain Atmosphere] [Bridge] I opened up the refrigerator Pulled two cold ones from the back Kicked my shoes off by the doorway Before I could talk myself back No umbrella No good reason No more hiding underneath Just rain running through my hair And bare feet crossing that street [Final Chorus] I crossed the street I made the first move Every step between our houses Felt like something I could lose You stood up when you saw me coming Like you couldn’t quite believe All those nights we’d spent just wondering Ended underneath my feet I crossed the street That’s all I did But sometimes twenty yards Is everything there is [Outro] I climbed the steps Held one beer out to you You looked at me I looked at you Then I nodded at that empty chair “Well… You gonna keep staring from over here… Or are you gonna make room?” [Instrumental fade]
