I count the steps from where I am
To where I started
I tap my feet
And close the door, to your apartment
And I know you're never gonna understand

It's too late for you to stop and think
Too late to mention
I make a move and spill my drink (Oh no)
To break the tension
And I know you're never gonna understand
I try my best to follow if I can

But I would have let you leave
I would have let you leave
I would have let you leave

The static waves across the screen
Define this notion
Back and forth and in between
Like my emotion
And I know you're never gonna understand
And won't you slow this down, oh, if you can

You swayed your hips and stole the breath
(That you were taking)
That I was taking
I touched your lips and held your hands
(Cause they were shaking)
When they were shaking

(I would have let you leave)
Look how we've fallen upon our knees
How we forgot it
(I would have let you leave)
These empty halls held our disease
Before we caught it
(I would have let you leave)
Now out the door and down the stairs from your apartment
I would have let you leave

(I would have let you leave)
The static waves across the screen
Define this notion
(I would have let you leave)
Back and forth and in between
Like my emotion
(I would have let you leave)
Now out the door and down the stairs
From your apartment
(I would have let you leave)
I count the steps from where I am
To where I started

I would have let you
I would have let you
I would have let you leave
