I'm standing at the foot of your stairs
Feels like I've always been standing there
My three-year-old coat on my arm
And my two year old shoes still on
Walking home past the peeling paint
On razor-thin boards that separate
A thousand stories of love and lust
Scorching suns and ancient lust
They bleed together in the morning's ecstasy
Makes you close your eyes against impossible beauty
So I just try to go back to sleep
Where I've still got a hold of my dreams
It's where I'm…
Standing at the foot of your stairs
And I'm watching it get dark out there
I'm calling up to you
It's the only left to do
This city makes me a complicated sort of sad
It's like a lover that I wished I'd had
I used to flirt with her in my younger days
But I wanted her to be the one who got away
So that I could be…
Standing at the foot of your stairs
Starting to feel like I belong right here
One day I'll come up and kiss your face
See what you done with the place
But until then, I'm…
Standing at the foot of the stairs
Standing at the foot of the stairs
