Look at you standing in the doorway Like you never learned to knock You came in wearing quiet And left the whole room unlocked I had been saving every heartbeat For a life I couldn’t name Then you leaned across the distance And nothing stayed the same You stole a kiss a kiss a kiss I should have stopped you at the first one But I never figured out how My thief What did you think you’d find? A little gold beneath my tongue A secret I could hide? my thief You took your sweet, sweet time A kiss a kiss a kiss Until your hands were full of mine Lately I’ve been driving nowhere Just to hear the engine breathe Watching all the passing houses Wondering which one you would leave I tried to keep my eyes ahead But every road turned back to you Love is such a careless witness It swears the impossible is true You stole a kiss a kiss the air between my words I should have called it robbery But it was the kind I thought I deserved My thief What did you think you’d find? A little gold beneath my tongue A secret I could hide? My thief You took your sweet, sweet time A kiss a kiss a kiss Until your hands were full of mine Did you know The first one was forgiveness? Did you know The second one was fear? The third was everything I promised I would never leave so near Now the door is standing open And the night has wandered in You can keep what you have taken Just don’t make me ask again My thief There’s nothing left to hide No little lock beneath my ribs No secret place inside My thief You crossed every warning line A kiss a kiss a kiss Somehow gave me back what’s mine A kiss and a kiss and a kiss You never gave them back
