Just another 8 rungs of this ladder
Your feet above the ground, above the roof
The tar will crack or bind
You see this all the time
On your glowing screens
The air is cold, there's nothing to protect us
Press against our bodies to keep warm
High up stars will shine but down here we combine
Persisting through the void
When you leave me breathless I get a certain satisfaction
Yeah when you leave me breathless I can hardly stand the wait of it all
Friday night I call you feeling lonely
You say that there's no space for us all all
I tell you I agree, I keep my message brief
"You changed my life for good"
Was there ever tribute to offer?
We could've slain the lamb right then and there
If all my fines are paid, my mind is locked away
And the key is encased in bone
When you leave me breathless I get a certain satisfaction
Yeah when you leave me breathless I can hardly stand the wait of it all
Sneaking over fences by my lonesome
The climb has never, ever felt this far
So trace my measured steps or wait with bated breath
In time I'll learn to take the hint
But this is not a torch song
The fire never raged. No, it was quelled
The summer came too late and my heart was locked away
The key is encased in bone
When you leave me breathless I get a certain satisfaction
When you leave me breathless I can hardly stand the wait
When you leave me breathless I get a certain satisfaction
When you leave me breathless I can hardly stand the weight of the world
