Every Time You Come Back Through My Door

+ Show full styles

You laughed and spun across the room, your eyes alive with fire,
Every mile between our hearts collapsed into desire.
And for a moment all the ghosts that haunted me were gone,
The lonely nights I’d suffered through just melted into dawn.

God, I’d missed the way you smile,
The way you make my demons quiet for a while.
And every scar I carried disappeared from view,
The second I was standing there with you.

Come a little closer, let me drown inside your light,
I’ve been starving for your touch every single lonely night.
If heaven has a face, then baby, it looks like yours,
The moment that you kissed me standing at my door.

And I’d give away tomorrow just to keep you here tonight,
Lose my mind inside your shadow, disappear into your eyes.
If loving you’s a sin, then let me be condemned once more,
Every time you come back through my door.

I cooked your favourite dinner while you sat there watching me,
The kind of simple little scene I’d dreamed about endlessly.
The candles painted gold across the curves of your face,
And every passing second felt impossible to replace.

We talked until the city lights were fading from the view,
And every word reminded me how much I still loved you.
Then we disappeared together from the noise and from the crowd,
Just two hearts in the darkness where we didn’t need to speak out loud.

And maybe it’s pathetic how I still fall this hard,
How one look from you can pull apart my guard.
But every part of me was always running back to you,
Like that’s the only thing I know how to do.

Later, when the room was quiet and the world had gone away,
You fell asleep beside me while I wished that time would stay.
Your head against my chest, your heartbeat soft and slow,
The kind of peace a broken soul spends years trying to know.

I traced the outline of your hand against the midnight glow,
Trying to memorize the things I feared I’d someday lose.
And every few minutes I’d lean down and kiss your cheek again,
Because somehow one was never enough.

Come a little closer, let me disappear tonight,
Wrap me in your arms until the morning steals the light.
I’ve spent a thousand lifetimes searching through the dark,
Just to find my way back to your heart.

And if the world comes crashing down the second that you leave,
Then let it take what’s left of me, there’s nothing left to keep.
Because every dream I’ve ever had begins and ends with yours,
Every time you come back through my door.

Midnight hanging from the sky like a secret we both knew, I heard the knocking at my door and somehow knew it was you. Opened up and there you stood with moonlight in your hair, Then you wrapped your arms around me like you’d always belonged there. You laughed and spun across the room, your eyes alive with fire, Every mile between our hearts collapsed into desire. And for a moment all the ghosts that haunted me were gone, The lonely nights I’d suffered through just melted into dawn.
