Crack the Shutters

You cool your bed warm hands down on the broken radiator

And when you laid them freezing on me

I mumbled can you wake me later

But I don't really want you to stop

And you know it so it doesn't stop you

And run your hands from my neck to my chest

Crack the shutters open wide

I want to bathe you in the light of day

And just watch you as the rays tangle up

Around your face and body

I could sit for hours

Finding new ways to be awed each minute

'Cause the daylight seems to want you

Just as much as I want you

It's been minutes it's been days

It's been all I will remember

Happy, lost in your hair

And the cold side of the pillow

Your hills and valleys

Are mapped by my intrepid fingers

And in a naked slumber, I dream of this again

Crack the shutters open wide

I want to bathe you in the light of day

And just watch you as the rays tangle up

Around your face and body

I could sit for hours

Finding new ways to be awed each minute

'Cause the daylight seems to want you

Just as much as I want you

Crack the shutters open wide

I want to bathe you in the light of day

And just watch you as the rays tangle up

Around your face and body

I could sit for hours

Finding new ways to be awed each minute

'Cause the daylight seems to want you

Just as much as I want you
