Low Light

Turn the lights down, leave the hallway on

I like the way the shadows move when the rest is gone

Don’t say my name yet, make me wait for it

You know exactly what you’re doing, don’t play innocent

You’re standing there like trouble I already chose

That little half-smile saying everything you know

Come a little closer, but don’t touch me yet

I wanna feel the tension before I feel the rest

Slow down

We’ve got all night

No need to rush what we already know feels right

Keep me in the low light

Close enough to lose time

Your hands, my waist

That look on your face

Baby, don’t you dare look away

Keep me in the low light

Where nobody knows why

The whole damn room

Feels smaller with you

And I forget everything but your name

I like the quiet right before you make your move

That second when I know exactly what you’re gonna do

Your breath against my skin, your fingers through my hair

You haven’t even kissed me and I’m already there

I could tell you stop just to hear you ask me twice

Could make you work a little harder for me tonight

I know what you want, you know what I came for

So lock the world outside and pull me toward the door

Slow down

Make me wait

I wanna remember every second on the way

Keep me in the low light

Close enough to lose time

Your hands, my waist

That look on your face

Baby, don’t you dare look away

Keep me in the low light

Where nobody knows why

The whole damn room

Feels smaller with you

And I forget everything but your name

No promises

No pretty lines

Just that dangerous little look in your eyes

Come closer

That’s close enough

Actually…

No, it’s not

Keep me in the low light

Let the whole world pass by

Your mouth near mine

Taking your sweet time

Like you know exactly what it does to me

Keep me in the low light

Till morning finds us inside

No place to be

Nobody to please

Just you getting dangerously close to me

Turn the lights down

Leave the hallway on

And come here.
