A song about restarting love. When granddaughter Charley (11) saw the first line of the lyrics, she said, “What's this? The Stalker's Anthem” Darn, I didn't think of that. So I changed some of the words, and in the Bridge I tried giving the unstalker explanation. Then for the video I had to make the characters more like cute little Pixar people. Did I tame it enough?

Outside Your House

Sitting in my car in the dark outside your house
wondering if you meant what you said.
It's been a while, I know, but you're still in my heart.
Open your front door to life ahead .

Is today the day you let me in so the rest of our life may begin?
Until I am in, I'll be here without sitting outside your house.

Once we were a thing but you felt there might be more.
Today you say you still think of me.
My heart still beats your name every second you're away.
Turn the porch light on and you will see.

Earler today we met by chance and you were telling me
how much you missed me since we split up,
and I said I get off work at 9. I'll stop by and sit outside.
If you want to try again just blink the light.

Ambling back and forth on the walk outside your house
hoping that the porch light soon comes on
when suddenly you're there with your come-hither stare
inviting me to stay till dawn.

We now love to spend our days inside rekindling the fire once denied.
The rest of our life we'll live side by side looking outside our house.
