Wake up my Darling love
Your daring legs were born to run
From the tangles of your tired youth
It just occurred to me that if we ever plan to be
Anything more than failures
We better dust our eyes so we can see
That this is the life we've waited for
This is me knocking on your door
This is my attempt to restore
What I lost
We better close our eyes
Cover our mouths for just tonight
These plans we made are bound to take some time
From a Texas porch we dream
Of future so bright we'd see it
Bleed through windows like the summer sun
Or how it would seem
That this is the life we've waited for
This is me knocking on your door
This is my attempt to restore
What I lost
With every snap you take of me
Close as the very breath you breathe
Oh if you let me
Oh if you let me
This is the life we've waited for
This is me knocking on your door
This is my attempt to restore
What I lost
With every snap you take of me
Close as the very breath you breathe
Oh if you let me
Oh if you let me
