Lyrics
Given time
We can make this more than friends
If we just heed the night
And let our colors blend if we decide
You're standing on the second step
I'm standing on the first
These lines are feeling so well rehearsed
In the doorway
In the doorway
Look at the time
I can feel it's getting late
You're exposed in the porch light
You know you wanna stay don't try to hide it
You're standing on the second step
I'm standing on the first
My chest is starting to hurt
Should I let you in
My home, my life, or wait
My waist is in your hand and here we stand
In the doorway
In the doorway
My heart is screaming at you
"Stop being so damn polite"
and "are we gonna stand out here staring each other down all night"
Either push and pull me in and tell me that you wanna stay
Or tell me it's been lovely, kiss me on the cheek, and leave me in the doorway.
In the doorway
In the doorway
So here's the line
The decision has finally been made
So what did we decide
The secrets will remain in the doorway
