static waves

i count the steps from where i am

to where i started

i tap my feet

and close the door

to your apartment

and i know you're never gonna understand

it's too late for you to stop and think

too late to mention

i make a move and spill my drink

to break the tension

i know you're never gonna understand

i'll try my best to follow if i can

but

i would have let you leave

the static waves across the screen

define this notion

back and forth and in between

like my emotion

and i know you're never gonna understand

and won't you slow this down oh if you can

you swayed your hips and stole the breathe

that i was taking

i touched your lips and held your hands

when they were shaking

look how we've fallen upon our knees

how we forgot it

these empty halls held our disease

before we caught it

now out the door and down the stairs from your apartment

i would have let you leave

the static waves across the screen

define this notion

back and forth and in between

like my emotion

now out the door and down the stairs

from your apartment

i count the steps from where i am

to where i started

i would have let you

i would have let you leave
