Last chance on the stairway

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't remember quite how I met you,

Wasn't long ago

Just get a picture of sun

In your eyes, the waves in your hair

Maybe it's something said in a movie

Or you could've said last night

Just took me out on a limb

And I don't really know what I'm doing here

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide

My beat's so in time, can you look at me

I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right

I've had my last chance on the stairway

Funny, it's just like a scene out of Voltaire

Twisting out of sight

'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back

We'll turn and see the circles we traced

Ain't no game...when you're playing with fire

It doesn't seem right that we fight

So the party runs on all night

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide

My beats so in time, can you look at me

I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right

So nervous to say, tell me, can't you see

If you want, I fall out forever

I can't say no more...bebe dance with me

And please don't say leave it till later

I've had my last chance on the stairway

Wonder why

Wonder why...what makes me rise so high

Maybe it's something they put in your perfume

Or the look in your eyes

It could be the atmosphere sinking

I don't even know what you're thinking

Don't even know what you're drinking

But it keeps this heaven alive

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide

My beats so in time, can you look at me

I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right

So nervous to say, tell me, can't you see

If you want, I fall out forever

I can't say no more...bebe dance with me

And please don't say leave it till later

I've had my last chance on the stairway
