Stairwell

Julia Nunes
I'm lyin' here on the floor just like the man on the yellow cone
I guess the floor was wet
So I'm cold and I'm all alone
"˜Cause I was
Runnin' down the stairs, I didn't think that I could fall
But gravity took over me and I crumpled like a ball.
But if you would pick me up, I'd be obliged.
Dust me off and push my hair aside.
Well it's later than I thought, and I thought it was pretty late.
I guess everyone's asleep, wonder why I'm still awake.
I could fall asleep right here, with my hands under my head.
There's a body in the stairwell, call the cops I think she's dead.
But if you would pick me up, I'd be obliged.
Dust me off and push my hair aside.
Well I can't lie, perhaps I didn't trip.
I've been having troubles lately, and I got somethin' to admit.
See I was standin' at the top, thinking "˜bout the Earth
It's been so hard to just keep livin', so I thought it might be worth it if...
You would pick me up, I'd be obliged.
Dust me off and push my hair aside.
Kiss me goodbye.
