Perfect Crime

Watching the clock tick
The slow hands mark off the passing time.
I smile to myself and wait
To slowly steal your perfect heart
would be the perfect crime.

Though we look like night and day,
We fit together, yet are two different extremes.
But it's been too long: one year
One long and restless sleep
Now you've given me sweet dreams

Your warmth, your embrace, your touch
I've waited for this for so long
And still I'm waiting.
Hopefully, you'll snatch me up
And pull me in where I belong

I've wanted to breathe you in,
Hold you close to my chest
Feel your heart beat with mine,
Close my eyes, and leave the rest

However, it hasn't happened yet
You haven't noticed me.
I've jumped and yelled and waved my arms
You need to finally listen
And open your eyes to see

Yes, I know I probably join a long line of girls,
Who hope and wish for the exact same.
But have they talked all night like we have?
Shared our hopes and dreams like us?
Or had a night around the flames?

I know, I'm not that special
But trust me, give me a shot.
Think of it as an adventure.
Where will this road take you?
Are you ready or not?

Watching the clock tick
The slow hands mark off the passing time.
I smile to myself and wait
For you to sweep me off my feet
Would be the perfect crime
