By the door

verse

The porch light hums, the street goes gold

I count the cars the way I'm told

Your keys, your steps, I know them all

I hear you coming down the hall

chorus

Every evening I wait by the door

Nothing else I'm waiting for

The whole world can wait outside

I just want you home tonight

verse

The mailman waves, the neighbors call

I keep my eyes upon the wall

A shadow moves, my tail goes wild

You say my name and then you smile

chorus

Every evening I wait by the door

Nothing else I'm waiting for

The whole world can wait outside

I just want you home tonight
