String

I was running

Under water

In the city

I had no partner

I was down and out til I found you

I was running on E til you noticed me

I don’t wanna

Go back home

I can’t shake it

Or break this ghost

I didn’t wanna talk yesterday

I wanna talk today

I’m trying to listen

But I can’t hear what you say

I saw your picture

In the hall

I heard your lovin’

Through the wall

There’s a string hanging from my window tied to you

You used to freak out

When I was driving

But you were thinking

All the while

You were standing on the sidewalk

Burning up your feet

Water spilled out of the hydrant and filled up all the streets

I was hanging

Down in the basement

When it was sunny

It started raining

It’s getting warmer on the corner and this storm is blowing over

I was looking through the blinds

But now I’m always satisfied

I saw your picture

In the hall

I heard your lovin

Through the wall

There’s a string hanging from my window tied to you
