The Ruse

Sit Down Stare Out

The Ruse


As the elevator rises to the 13th floor I ride and I'm holding on for life 
Should I step out? 
Should I get out and knock on your door tonight? 
While you're laughing out inside 
Because what you see in me Is nothing but a shadow of what I see in you I lie awake while dreaming 
Pretend to hear you breathing 
Pretend I'm not alone 
But I'm without you and I can barely breathe when I'm without you 
So I drop my hands down to my side and run downstairs hoping that you didn't see me 
and sit down stare out at the numbers on your door  
Drive off, forget to remember you some more  
What you see in me is nothing but a shadow of what I see in you  
I lie awake while dreaming 
Pretend to hear you breathing 
Pretend I'm not alone 
But I'm without you and I can barely breathe when I'm without you 
When I'm without you 
Rescue me 
So I drop my hands down to my side and then I start to run  
So I drop my hands down to my side and then I start to run   
What you see in me is nothing but a shadow of what I see in you 
I lie awake while dreaming 
Pretend to hear you breathing  
Pretend I'm not alone  
But I'm without you and I can barely breathe when I'm without you
