[Verse 1] I've been counting down the miles, Counting nights and counting days, Thinking 'bout that look you'll give me When I'm finally on my way. I don't need some big ol' welcome, Don't need anybody around, Just leave a little light on for me When these boots hit hometown. [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I've had way too much time To think about you and me, And every night I've been gone Adds a little more heat. [Chorus] When I get home, Come meet me at the door, Let me hold you like I've been wanting to A little longer than before. Let me look at you a minute, Let the whole damn world disappear. I don't wanna rush a second After waiting to have you near. We'll turn the lights down low, Let the quiet take control, Baby, I've been thinking about What happens when I get home. [Verse 2] I wanna hear that little laugh When I pull you into me, Feel your hands around my shoulders, Your breath warm against my cheek. Maybe we don't say much, Maybe words just get in the way, Maybe one slow kiss says everything I've been wanting all these days. [Pre-Chorus] And if you feel what I'm feeling, You won't have to say a thing, I'll know it by the way you stay When I pull you close to me. [Chorus] When I get home, Come meet me at the door, Let me hold you like I've been wanting to A little longer than before. Let me look at you a minute, Let the whole damn world disappear. I don't wanna rush a second After waiting to have you near. We'll turn the lights down low, Let the quiet take control, Baby, I've been thinking about What happens when I get home. [Bridge] No plans, no place we gotta be, No clock telling us to move. Just your fingers locked in mine And all night to follow through. I've imagined that first moment More times than you'll ever know— That little pause before we find out Just how far we wanna go. [Final Chorus] When I get home, Don't worry 'bout a thing, Just come a little closer And let the night begin. Let me take my time with you, Let every second unfold, We've waited long enough To finally have something to hold. Lights down low, Your heartbeat close to mine, Baby, everything I've wanted Starts when I get home tonight. [Outro] So leave that little light on, I'll be there before you know. And save that look you've been giving me For when I get home.
