If I wait in this moment I could find you Again and again And I'd feel like only yesterday I was the spark in your eyes Could I lie to myself If all of the pieces had come into play Just to see your face Come to the surface of somebody else Now I've been sleeping with a friend like I wanted to Mixing the message 'round the curve when I talk with you And I feel faded, I feel numb Walls around me come undone In stages Oh, in stages You dropped your earrings on the side of the bed And slowly inched your way inside of my head The sun is gone, I've been wasting time In fantasies, locked between your eyes Beneath the pines, I'll cast away your light You haunt me You haunt me Now I've been sleeping with a friend like I wanted to Mixing the message 'round the curve when I talk with you And I feel faded, I feel numb Walls around me come undone In stages Oh, in stages You dropped your earrings on the side of the bed And slowly inched your way inside of my head In stages Oh, in stages Take the moment out of mind And feed into it when days unwind
