Kiss Me
Casey Donahew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't find a stepping stone and
This went better when I played it in my mind
And there's a silence in the air
Don't you know how much I care?
Don't you know that you're the reason that I dream?
She said, "I've been waitin' on you to kiss me
There's a window open to steal my heart
And I'm waitin' on you to kiss me"
It's all these little games and
I hope you feel the same
I've lived my life afraid to never to know the truth
She said "Don't walk away, I need you to stay
If you want, you can wrap me in your arms"
She said, "I've been waitin' on you to kiss me
Waitin' on you to make your move.
There's a window open to steal my heart
And I'm waitin' on you to kiss me"
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on you to kiss me
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on you to kiss me
I've been waitin' on you to kiss me
Waitin' on you to make your move
There's a window open to steal my heart
And I'm waitin' on you to kiss me
I've been waitin' on you to kiss me
Waitin' on you to make your move
There's a window open to steal my heart
And I'm waitin' on you to kiss me
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on you to kiss me
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on you
Waitin' on you to kiss me

@Eastwood007x
Magnificent. I can't sing your praises highly enough. It's high time the people in Nashville decide to cut the corporate country loose and embrace something else. As far as I'm concerned guys like Casey and Chris Stapleton are the proud inheritors of the genre once defined by men like Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. The sound isn't quite the same but the good feelings are.
