Elevator Girl

My eyes found your eyes
fixed on me from across a room of forgettable people
'You should stop by when you get off work tonight'
We'll watch Saturday Night Live
And I'll feel like a stranger for awhile
and then make my way back home
At the door you grab my arm
what's up, what's wrong
nothing, it's always nothing at all

If I agreed to hold your hand
would you jump off this bridge
into the deepest waters with me
I cant swim but I'll grow gills to breathe

Unanswered vibrations
My heart raced, I just paced
and split my mind on all the things I would've told you
and every fucking thing you've ever said to me
Cigarettes and a radio
Smoke and a melody
Pills and the ink from my pen
I find myself walking around again for no reason
while you're asleep comfortably in bed.

I wish that I could put a picture of you
underneath my eyelids so that you would be
All that I could ever see when I go to sleep
And if I could answer you now
I would say that I do agree
I tried to write it all down
so that I would never forget a second
But all I can remember now
are the nights that I sat next to you
and said nothing at all
