[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!


[Pre-Chorus]

So let them stare


[Chorus]

If I could think, I would give in

And let you in on how I feel

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

Or 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!


[Pre-Chorus]

So let them stare


[Chorus]

If I could think, I would give in

And let you in on how I feel

Need to spill, let all of it out right now

And expose every inch in front of them

If I could think, I would give in

And let you in on how I feel

Need to spill, let all of it out right now

And expose every inch in front of them


[Post-Chorus]

In front of them

Yeah


[Bridge]

You help me to feel, see and know

Why all the while I've been so inquisitive?

I can't go back, because now I know how it feels to open up and breathe

I can't go back, because now I

I can't go back, because now I

I can't go back, because now I

I can't go back, because now I


[Chorus]

If I could think, I would give in

And let you in on how I feel

Need to spill, let all of it out right now

And expose every inch in front of them

If I could think, I would give in

And let you in on how I feel

Need to spill, let all of it out right now

And expose every inch in front of them


[Outro]

In front of them!

In front of them!

In front of them!

Yeah
