Come To My Window
Melissa Etheridge Lyrics

Come to my window
I want you to come to my window and enter my world

Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
When you come to my window, please wait for me, lit by the moon

I'll be home soon
I won't make you wait too long, I'll be home soon

I would dial the numbers
I want to hear your voice, even if all I do is dial the number and listen to you breathe

Just to listen to your breath
Your breath is like music to me, I find comfort in it

I would stand inside my hell
I would willingly suffer my own agony just to be near you

And hold the hand of death
I am so desperate for you that I would even face death just to have the chance to hold your hand

You don't know how far I'd go
There is nothing I wouldn't do to ease this feeling I have for you

To ease this precious ache
My love for you is a beautiful but unbearable pain - I want it to go away, but I also want to keep feeling it

You don't know how much I'd give
I am willing to give everything I have just to be with you

Or how much I can take
I am strong enough to handle whatever comes with loving you

Keeping my eyes open
I can't let myself rest or close my eyes, I need to always be aware and alert for you

I cannot afford to sleep
Because if I sleep, even for a moment, I might miss you

Giving away promises
I am making promises to myself that I can't keep, because they are all centered around being with you - something I can't control

I know that I can't keep
I am aware that I am lying to myself, because I know that what I want most is to be with you

Nothing fills the blackness
My heart is so empty without you, nothing can fill it but your love

That has seeped into my chest
My love for you has penetrated so deeply into my heart that it's all I can feel

I need you in my blood
You are a part of me, I need you to survive

I am forsaking all the rest
I am willing to give up everything, just to be with you and feel your love

I don't care what they think
Other people's opinions don't matter, as long as you feel the same way

I don't care what they say
I am not concerned with their words and judgments

What do they know about this love
They don't understand the intensity of my love for you, so their opinions hold no weight

Anyway
Regardless of their opinions, my love for you is true and unwavering

Come, come to my window
I am begging for you to come and be with me

I am coming home
I belong with you, and I am on my way back home to you
