The Other Side Of The Door

In the heat of the fight;
I walked away.
Ignoring words that you were saying,
Tryna make me stay.
I said, “This time I had enough.”
And you’ve called a hundred times,
But I’m not pickin’ up.
‘Cause I’m so mad, I might tell you that it’s over.
But if you look a little closer

I said, “Leave,” but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles; screaming, “I’m in love with you.”
Wait there in the pourin’ rain,
Come back for more.
And don’t you leave,
‘cause I know all I need
is on the other side of the door.

Me and my stupid pride
Sittin’ here, alone.
Going through the photographs,
Staring at the phone.
I keep going back over
The things we both said.
And I remember the slammin’ door,
And all the things that I misread.
Baby you know everything,
Tell me why you couldn’t see
That when I left I wanted you to
Chase after me?

I said, “Leave,” but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles; screaming, “I’m in love with you.”
Wait there in the pourin’ rain,
Come back for more.
And don’t you leave,
‘cause I know all I need
is on the other side of the door.

And I scream out the window,
“I can’t even look at you, I don’t need you,”
But I do, I do, I do.
See, there’s nothing you can say
To make right again, I mean it,
I mean it
What I mean is

I said, “Leave,” baby all I really want is you
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles; screaming, “I’m in love with you.”
Wait there in the pourin’ rain,
Come back for more.
And don’t you leave,
‘cause I know all I need
is on the other side of the door.

With your face, and your beautiful eyes,
And the conversation,
With the little white lies.
And the faded picture
Of a beautiful night
You carry me from your car
up the stairs
And I’m broke-down cryin’
Wish we weren’t this messed,
After everything in that little black dress
After everything, I must confess,
I need you
