I walk these streets a wraith

a hop skip and a jump away

but short the leap of faith

it takes to let you know

that talk is cheap these days

and love is just a passing craze

but when i meet your gaze

im basking in the glow



my last escape

im half awake

i sleepwalk down the hall

in consequence, it makes less sense

the faster that we fall

the faster that i'll call

and ask



if it came to that

would you speak too soon

would you turn your back

would you leave the room

cause with my dream in tact

what can i do

but start from scratch

and be with you 



I talk these streets sedate

With half a mind to call you late

A fifth that's taken straight

And a taxi cab window

So give these sheets a taste

of my arms wrapped around your waist

and secrets i'd keep safe

if you'd only say its so
