Stairs - amadio

In a room above a busy street The echoes of a life The fragments and the accidents Separated by incidents Listened to by walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements Storey to storey Building to building Street to street We pass each other Storey to storey Building to building Street to street We pass each other Listened to by walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements The nature of your tragedy Is chained around your neck Do you lead or are you led? Are you sure that you don't care? There are reasons here to give your life And follow in your way The passion lives to keep your faith Though all are different all are great Climbing as we fall We dare to hold on to our fate And steal away our destiny To catch ourselves with quiet grace Storey to storey Building to building Street to street we Pass each other on the stairs Listened to by walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements Storey to storey Building to building Street to street we Pass each other on the stairs

So you just stand there With a dollar at your feet And you wait as I retreat To go get mine And when I get back You're still waiting silently Cause my mother's fast asleep Right next door Yeah, I'm 26 and I still live with my parents Oh, I can't do laundry Christ, I can't do dishes What'll I do without you When your body fails you When nobody loves you All they do is miss you But they don't even care So be careful when you run downstairs Be careful who you talk to Or the wonderful way you walk You are like a magnet for evil So you just stand there With a dollar at your feet And you wait as I retreat To go get mine And when I get back You're too terrified to speak And my brother's such a creep Even more Yeah, be careful when you run downstairs Be careful who you talk to Or the wonderful way you walk You are like a magnet for evil Cause there's so much good inside you And I wish that I could hide you Some place no one could hurt you Where nobody could change you I'll lock you in my room And I'll tie you to the sheets Cause I could watch you sleep for weeks Oh, the things you'd never see If it were up to me Oh, I can't do laundry Christ, I can't do dishes What'll I do without you
