Lyrics

Yesterday, i climbed up a string ladder
Was Hoping to find
You in your tower

But all that i found
Were some words written down
Carefully on folded paper

And Buried inside
Was an unsaid goodbye
That I had clearly forgotten
---

And all the light
Seemed to dance in your eyes
You were there
You were there
You were there

And all that you said
Had been given away
Though gone, it was not forgotten

And all the smiles
That you tethered to mine
they were there
they were there
they were there

------
And I would there
If you call me lover
Yes, I would be there
If you call me in
----

Walk through the night again
The camera will follow you
I’m playing the clown again
I hope I don’t bother you

What could I say…

In shadows I found you’d been thrown around
But you we were there, you were there, you were there

Yet, all the while I was wondering why
You were there, you were there, you were there
But I’ll be there, if you call me lover,
Yes, I’ll be there, because you’ve drawn me in

Step to the light again
The camera will follow you
I’m playing the clown again, I hope I don’t bother you
I’m playing that part again
I’m playing that part again

What could I say, to get away from here
What should I say, to get away from here

Yesterday, I climbed up a string ladder.
