Where did you learn to shout with such a perfect voice
The brightest words I'd heard all week
You ate magazines and I heard you speak
And now the world around you makes a perfect noise
The traffic coughs and now the coffee drips
And I can hear the words if I read your lips
[Chorus]
You're in the roof of my mouth
You're on the tip of my tongue
You've come to be all the blood I need
And all the air in my lungs
You sit across the aisle a dozen miles away
You're just a table across and I need to talk
But my body lost its will to walk
I stare at empty cup and wonder what we'll say
But now you're walking out and my pulse stops dead
And there's a muffled shout inside my head
[Chorus]
And this is where you sat so this is where I'll wait
I know that you left and you're nowhere near
But in my head you're still right here
[Chorus x3 fade]
