I hear the footsteps on the stairs
The tingles creep I feel your near
But the steps carry by down the hall
The shadow passes you weren't there at all
I feel the sun begin to burn
I lift my head, I hear a door close
The blankets tangled beneath my body
If your awake no one knows
I stretch across the empty bed
I hear laughing near the door
Slowly I stand and I smile
At the music drifting through the floor
I open the door into the hall
The sunlight illuminates the dust
The wood creaks beneath every step
And the hinges creak with rust
The stairs drop to the basement
My hand trails along the wall
The darkness drifts around me
And I can't see anything at all
But I test my way through the room
Quiet steps trying to get through
Through the darkness I see your bed
Through the sheets my arms fall around you
You stir in your sleep, you move
Your hands wrap through my waist
And where there once was silence
Quiet 'good-mornings' are replaced
The tingles creep I feel your near
But the steps carry by down the hall
The shadow passes you weren't there at all
I feel the sun begin to burn
I lift my head, I hear a door close
The blankets tangled beneath my body
If your awake no one knows
I stretch across the empty bed
I hear laughing near the door
Slowly I stand and I smile
At the music drifting through the floor
I open the door into the hall
The sunlight illuminates the dust
The wood creaks beneath every step
And the hinges creak with rust
The stairs drop to the basement
My hand trails along the wall
The darkness drifts around me
And I can't see anything at all
But I test my way through the room
Quiet steps trying to get through
Through the darkness I see your bed
Through the sheets my arms fall around you
You stir in your sleep, you move
Your hands wrap through my waist
And where there once was silence
Quiet 'good-mornings' are replaced
