[Verse 1: Davey Havok & Hunter Burgan ]
Along the path where the stream is talking
I breathe the mist and continue walking
The wood, it whispers in a language of its own
As a sigh escaped my lips
I feel the light caress of fingertips
That steal away the breath and leave me on my own ( own )
[Chorus: Davey Havok & Jade Puget ]
Waiting by the stairs
Waiting, I despair
Waiting, I despair
Waiting by the stairs
[Post-Chorus: Davey Havok]
[Verse 2: Davey Havok & Hunter Burgan ]
Do I hear the hollow sound?
Footsteps resounding on this frozen ground
Or the familiar disappointment of the echoes of my own? ( own )
[Chorus: Davey Havok & Jade Puget ]
Waiting by the stairs
Waiting, I despair
Waiting, I despair
Waiting by the stairs
Waiting by the stairs
Waiting, I despair
Waiting, I despair
Waiting by the stairs
[Bridge: Davey Havok]
Somehow I ended up here in between
Where there is always the comfort
Of knowing I'll never be seen
When I fall
When I fall
I wait for just one touch
[Outro: Davey Havok with Jade Puget & Hunter Burgan ]
And I fall weightless, endless
Faithless, I'll adore you
A single touch, before I fade
Painless let me pass through
Weightless, endless
Faithless, I'll adore you
A single touch, before I fade
Painless let me pass through
This is a line originally said by Winona Ryder’s character in the 1988 film “Beetlejuice”
