The Upstairs Room

I love it all, these games we play

I close my eyes, you run away

I'm sure I asked you to stay

But now you're gone

Today I feel the grey pulse in my head

I turn off the lights and crawl into bed

I try to think of sunshine

But my body goes wet with the first crash of thunder

I don't think I can know

Anyone but you

That's for sure

And when it gets to four

It's my turn to go

Oh, the kiss, so alcoholic and slow

Arranging me for Saturday

I thought you would know

That I always sleep alone

I don't think I can love

Anyone but you, dear

That's for sure

That's for sure

That's for sure

That's for sure

The upstairs room is cool and bright

We can go up there in summer

And dance all night

Your sister started talking at a minute after ten

So everyone jumped up and then fell over again

In April you can join them and stare at me

At the ghost from your past

At the ghost from your past

The ghost from your past

Ghost from your past

I don't think I can love

Anyone but you, dear

That's for sure

That's for sure
