I left a piece of my heart in your coat,
A late-night confession I quietly wrote.
Now every time you are reaching inside,
You'll feel all the passion I'm trying to hide.
The wooden guitar playing soft in the room,
We breathed in the scent of the midnight perfume.
I watched as you smiled with the glass to your lips,
My world at the edge of your soft fingertips.
I'm watching you leave with a look on your face,
A lingering heat that I cannot erase.
I wanted to keep you a little bit more,
Before you could walk through that heavy front door.
There are notes in your pocket I slipped in tonight,
To tell you I need you before morning light.
A slow-burning secret to read when you're gone,
To pull you right back where your body belongs.
Just read what I wrote you, and follow the flame,
I know that you're aching to call out my name.
I picture you standing alone in the hall,
Finding the letters that answer it all.
The rustle of denim, the fading street light,
You're reading the words that I meant for tonight.
I'm waiting right here with a drink in my hand,
Just hoping you'll read it and soon understand.
I wanted to give you a reason to turn,
To step back inside and just let it all burn.
There are notes in your pocket I slipped in tonight,
To tell you I need you before morning light.
A slow-burning secret to read when you're gone,
To pull you right back where your body belongs.
Just read what I wrote you, and follow the flame,
I know that you're aching to call out my name.
Shadows are melting and blurring the lines
Tasting the fire as midnight unwinds
Falling so deep where the promises stay
You know that Sayed will not walk away
Feeling the gravity pull us apart
Only to crash in the beat of a heart
I left the best part completely unsaid.
So come back and listen to my heart instead.
There are notes in your pocket I slipped in tonight,
To tell you I need you before morning light.
But paper and ink could not hold what I feel,
Come back to my arms and I'll make it all real.
