Static Waves

(album: The Ladder - 2010)

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 [x3]

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 [x3]
I would have let you leave
