Longing for Your Arms

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Another weekend without you, the city feels so gray

I watch the rain trace patterns on my windowpane all day

I put a record on the player, a familiar, happy tune

But every single melody just makes me think of soon

I'm counting down the minutes, I'm staring at the phone

Wishing it would buzz and tell me I am not alone

I walk through empty rooms and trace your picture in a frame

It's a silly little habit, but I whisper out your name

Oh, I'm filled with longing for your arms to hold me tight

To turn this quiet afternoon into a magic night

The ticking of the clock is like a melancholy song

This weekend feels forever when you've been away too long

I made a cup of coffee, the way you like it best

And sat here on the sofa, putting my own heart to the test

I imagined you were with me, telling stories, making jokes

My own imagination is a lovely, gentle hoax

I'm counting down the minutes, I'm staring at the phone

Wishing it would buzz and tell me I am not alone

I walk through empty rooms and trace your picture in a frame

It's a silly little habit, but I whisper out your name

Oh, I'm filled with longing for your arms to hold me tight

To turn this quiet afternoon into a magic night

The ticking of the clock is like a melancholy song

This weekend feels forever when you've been away too long

(Yeah-yeah-yeah)

Just a daydream away

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Hoping for Monday

I could go out with my friends, dance the lonely night away

But my dancing shoes are hiding, they have nothing left to say

I'd rather stay inside and wrap myself up in your sweater

Pretending you are here with me just makes everything better

I'm counting down the minutes, I'm staring at the phone

Wishing it would buzz and tell me I am not alone

I walk through empty rooms and trace your picture in a frame

It's a silly little habit, but I whisper out your name

Oh, I'm filled with longing for your arms to hold me tight
