lyrics

Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes
Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes

I hear the footsteps wandering the hallways, all day
Wondering why you're pacin' nearly always
I can't put a face to the echoes that I'm hearin'
But I'm hearin' them all day and thus insanity is nearin'
I've thought of peerin' through the cracks in the door once in a while
But I'm afraid to see your face - 'cause maybe then I'd smile
And its wild the way a thought like that could make me hesitate
I'll never leave my room again with you pacin' at the present rate
Haven't ate in seven days; you're so persistent in your promenade
It's all so odd, I'm fallin' off the surface of the rock I'm on
My perspective has been slanted by my lack of a perspective
Her juxtaposed percussion has me feelin' introspective
Several quiet seconds pass, and I'm enraptured by the silence
Then she starts again with a sudden eager violence
Heel, toe, heel, toe, tell me how you feel though
Life is but a dream 'til you decide to make it real, whoa

Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes
Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes

Light echoes, as the sound reflects
And I reflect on the sound as I ponder what's next
Will I spend my whole life locked away in this room?
Will this four walls add up to the sum of my doom?
The window's not an option 'cause your boy is far too cautious
And the ringin' in my ears has me feelin' awful naesuous
Suddenly the footsteps soften as the day comes to a close
And I'm forced to wonder where exactly this woman goes
Hold my breath and count to thirty, hear no sounds so there's no worries
Peek my head outside the door, the way is clear, so now I scurry
Down the stairs, with a quickness, to carry on with business
I've got a small window and I do not wanna miss it
So I step through the front door, and out into the cold
To wander through the night and find the secrets that it holds
Pull the hood over my beanie and the buds into my ears
Going nowhere fast and the path is clear

Going nowhere fast and the path is clear

Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes
Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes

I return to my building before the sun to the sky
Bags underneath my arms, but even more beneath my eyes
5:05 am reads the screen on my phone
As I sift through my pockets for the keys to my home
At this point in life all I wanna be is alone
And suddenly my ears are greeted by familiar tones
Heel, toe, click, click, hinges creak, door cracks
My keys fall to the floor and I stop in my tracks
Reach down for my keys, and I'm shocked to see her hands
Scooping them up, interrupting my plan
So here we are, eye to eye, with no more doors between us
No more walls to interfere, and no echoes to deceive just
A little alcove cut into the curvature of time
I spent what felt like eternity studying her eyes
She stood up from where she was, asked for my name
I extended a hand with a smile on my face

Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes
Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes
Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes
Light echoes, light echoes, light echoes
