Lyrics
How was your day?
Mine was alright
Was a hell of a sunset, sky was on fire
Could you see it from your side of town?
I was thinking this weekend
Of maybe hitting the coast
Get a little sun and some fresh air
Maybe I’ll see you there
And finally get to buy you a beer
And find out where you been all these years
And put a face to these daydreams
That been driving me crazy
I haven’t met you yet
And I’m already wrapped around your finger
Girl, where you been hiding?
I know one day you’ll find me
Till then I’ll just sit right here wishing upon these stars
There’s a key under the mat
And I’ll leave the light on too
I’m waiting up for you
I know I’m gonna know
Soon as I see those eyes
It might be tomorrow
It might be tonight
But whenever the time is right
I got arms that wanna hold ya
Got lips that wanna know ya
I got everything
But the one thing I still need…
To put a face to these daydreams
That been driving me crazy
I haven’t met you yet
And I’m already wrapped around your finger
Girl, where you been hiding?
I know one day you’ll find me
Till then I’ll just sit right here wishing upon these stars
There’s a key under the mat
And I’ll leave the light on too
I’m waiting up for you
Waiting up for you
Every night I'll be praying
That you'll get here safe
And that someday soon I'll get to...
Put a face to these daydreams
And love you like crazy….
Put a face to these daydreams
That been driving me crazy
I haven’t met you yet
And I’m already wrapped around your finger
Girl, where you been hiding?
I know one day you’ll find me
Till then I’ll just sit right here wishing upon these stars
There’s a key under the mat
And I’ll leave the light on too
I’m waiting up for you
Waiting up for you
Waiting up for you
Oh
Waiting up for you
