i let you linger
years have passed
but i close my eyes and in those moments
you are slowly leaning in to me
caressing my hand with a whisper of your own
guiding me with eyes
torn between two scenes
i let you linger
linger linger linger
inside of me
i let you linger
and the more i do
the more i need to
but you knew that much
and still do
i let you linger
linger linger linger
inside of me
your gentle words
and soothing voice
your sighs and grown up lullabys
and the way you used to look at me
let me believe
the unbelievable
i let you linger
it's the closest i've come
to holding a piece of you
i let you linger
linger linger linger
inside of me
though you don't warm my bed
ease my heart
or hold up my head
i let you linger
why
i have never known
i let you linger
linger linger linger
inside of me

it's beginning to feel like home
