Glancing (Hosea & Gomer)

​(Intro)
[Sound of wind chimes. A soft, lonely piano melody.]
(Spoken, soft:)
I keep glancing over my shoulder...
Imagining you're there.
But it's just me.
​(Verse 1)
[Soft beat enters. Heartbeat rhythm.]
It's been days since I've seen you...
And I'm getting sick. (Sick inside...)
Oh, how I need you so bad.
I keep imagining the conversations we would have.
(But they never occur...)
You're homesick...
But I wanna be homesick with you. [Vocal Run]
What am I doing?
Getting obsessed by you, yet again.
(Here I go again...)
​(Chorus)
[Strings swell. Beautiful, sad melody.]
I keep GLANCING OVER MY SHOULDER.
Waiting for you to call.
(Why don't you call me?)
Am I a whole other lifetime away?
I waited for you for too long.
(Too long...)
I need you... tears escape my eyes.
Oh, how I love you.
(I pray for you...)
I pray for the courage to speak up.
To be bold.
​(Verse 2)
[Bass enters. A little deeper.]
You know in the Bible, there is a story...
Of HOSEA and his wife GOMER.
(Yeah, I know the story...)
It's a story about faithfulness and patience.
Hosea kept going back to her, over and over again.
(Over and over...)
Well, I'll do that three times fold with you!
(Three times fold!)
If that proves to you how bad I need you.
My imaginations are meant to come to fruition...
When it comes to you.
​(Bridge)
[Music drops to just the Cello. Intense and Spiritual.]
Not just the times you make me clench my thighs...
(No, not just that...)
But the times I see us work.
Hand in hand.
(United!)
Encouraging each other.
(Smiling!)
Laughing... Cleaning...
A LIFETIME with you.
​(Outro)
[Music fades back to the piano.]
I'll be your Gomer... if you'll be my Hosea.
(Come back to me...)
I keep glancing over my shoulder.
(Whisper:) Are you there?
(Song ends.)
