When You Awake
I'm speeding on this blacktop
taking corners way too fast
passing on solid lines
trying to make up for lost time
can I get there quick enough?
or is it way too late?
sitting at endless red lights
as dusk creeps into night
are you waiting up?
can you feel I'll be there soon?
I'm glancing at the clock
did you leave the door unlocked?
if you're asleep when I get there
I'll quietly slip in by you
when you awake in the early dawn
you'll be wrapped tightly in my arms
