verse 1:
fifteen minutes to six and fourteen floors to go
thirteen suited strangers makes a crowded elevator slow
and i've got a million words and phrases on the tip of my tongue
for the only non-stranger next to me
soon she'll know... know, know
so let 'em stare

chorus:
if i cry think of what you'll feel
i'll let you in on how i feel i need to spill
let all of it out right now
and expose every inch in front of them

verse 2:
twelve more floors your eyes and mine are all i need to come clean
should i wait for the lobby spare the lives
of some twenty-six nervous eyes
being occupied by little red numbers passing by
if i wait one minute longer i think i will die... die, die
so let 'em stare

(chorus)

bridge:
you helped me to feel, see, and know
all the while i've been so inquisitive
i can't go back 'cause now i know how it feels
to open up and breathe
can't go back 'cause now i
can't go back 'cause now i
i can't go back 'cause now i
can't go back 'cause now i know

(chorus)
