I'll wait for you by the staircase
Like I always do
Where you'd come rushing down
It was all we knew
Now I dress alone
Thoughts everywhere
And the beauty of it all
Were you ever there?
Were you ever there?
Sometimes I don't know where I stand in the depths of your mind
Sometimes I don't care because these days you are less in mine
I still wait by the staircase
Like I always did
Where you'd come rushing down
Always late by a minute
And all the colours I saw
All fade to grey
And the man that I was
Is he still in me?
Is he still in me?
Sometimes I don't know where I stand in the depths of your mind
Sometimes I don't care because these days you are less in mine
There's days when I wish I never even knew you at all
There's days when the quiet will drown out the violence
And I can rest easy my soul
I regret what I said, but the words that I spoke
Should never take over, I thought we were closer
I thought we were closer, I thought we were closer
I thought we were closer than that
I thought we were closer, I thought we were closer
I thought we were closer than that
Sometimes I don't know where I stand in the depths of your mind
Sometimes I don't care because these days you are less in mine
There's days when I wish I never even knew you at all
There's days when the quiet will drown out the violence
And I can rest easy my soul
I regret what I said, but the words that I spoke
Should never take over, I thought we were closer
