[ok, so i'm completely new and amateur, hope you don't mind my bad voice and the quality :P]


I can't help it
The sound of steps in a hallway
Reminds me of a dark day
When you chose to walk away

I don't understand
How you managed to walk backwards
On that unsteady ground
While still formulating such words

  But wait
  I have never seen you in a raincoat
  You cannot go away
  Not until I watch these raindrops
  Running down and hitting ground

And I doubt
I would ever again meet someone
Who says when the airplane crashed down
Felt an impact on the ground

I can't stand
That the taste of cider reminds me
Of a certain farewell party
When we first kissed

  Oh girl
  You have never bitten your fingernails
  You cannot go away
  For I never heard you gurgle
  And too seldomly heard you sing

 Don't act as if you are not there
 As if you don't exist

  Babe
  I've some lent stuff to give back to you
  You cannot stay away
  'cause I bet I heard your patter
  On the creaking wooden stairs
