[Couplet :]
I count the steps from where I am
To where I started
I tap my feet and close th e door
To your apart ment
And I know you're never gonn a understa nd
Its too late for you to stop and think
Too late to mention
I make a move and spill my drink
To break the tension
And I know youre never gonna understand
I'll try my best to follow if I can, but...
[Refrain :]
I would have let yo u lea ve
I would have let yo u lea ve
I would have let you leave
[Couplet :]
The static waves across the screen
Define this notion
Back and forth and in between
Like my emotion
And I know youre never gonna understand
And won't you slow this down oh if you can
You swayed your hips and stole the breathe
That I was taking
I touched your lips and held your hand
When they were shaking
[Couplet :]
Look how we've fallen upon our knees
How we forgot it
These empty halls held our disease
Before we caught it
Now out the door and down the stairs from your apartment
I would have let you leave
Instrumental :
[Couplet :]
The static waves across the screen
Define this notion
Back and forth and in between
Like my emotion
Now out the door and down the stairs
From your apartment
I count the steps from where I am
To where I started
I would have let you (x2)
I would have let yo u leave
