while you were talking

i might remember smoking on the fire escape

until the morning

i might have memorized the buttons

on the elevator door

i might have stumbled down the stairs

when i broke to get to your floor

oh

tonight if these walls caved in

i don't think i would hear a thing

oh

tonight if these walls came down

i don't think i

would hear a sound

would hear a sound

would hear a sound

would hear a sound

i might have sketched your profile

into the book that i was reading

on the target page in a little space

by the corner when you drove to the city

oh

tonight if these walls caved in

i don't think i would hear a thing

oh

tonight if these walls came down

i don't think i

would hear a sound

would hear a sound

i think i've found a button from your sleeve

under my bed we wake last week

yeah i thought of calling but somebody

said you wanted nothing to do with me

i think i've found a button from your sleeve

and i didn't even hear you leaving

and i

i didn't even hear you leaving

and i

i didn't even hear you leaving

i didn't hear a sound
