Sit Down Stare Out
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.
As the elevator rises to the 13th floor I ride and I'm holding on for life
Should I step out?
Should I get out and knock on your door tonight?
While you're laughing out inside
Because what you see in me Is nothing but a shadow of what I see in you I lie awake while dreaming
Pretend to hear you breathing
Pretend I'm not alone
But I'm without you and I can barely breathe when I'm without you
So I drop my hands down to my side and run downstairs hoping that you didn't see me
and sit down stare out at the numbers on your door
Drive off, forget to remember you some more
What you see in me is nothing but a shadow of what I see in you
I lie awake while dreaming
Pretend to hear you breathing
Pretend I'm not alone
But I'm without you and I can barely breathe when I'm without you
When I'm without you
Rescue me
So I drop my hands down to my side and then I start to run
So I drop my hands down to my side and then I start to run
What you see in me is nothing but a shadow of what I see in you
I lie awake while dreaming
Pretend to hear you breathing
Pretend I'm not alone
But I'm without you and I can barely breathe when I'm without you
