“You sing me to sleep, talk down my walls…”
I found this little song on my iPod earlier today and I’ve been listening to it on repeat ever since. I don’t have a good use for it tonight, but this is what I’m thinking –
One Sunday night in the future, maybe I’ll even be lucky enough for it to be fall then, too? All the candles in my living room lit, dancing very slowly with someone.

Rather than wait ’til I put me out for the taking
You’re breaking
You’re breaking
You’re breaking into my heart
And I’m letting you
