Making my way across the room An empty night with some good showtunes Settling down before I make my move Settling down, but I can still see The tape on the floor I keep looking, I'm still moving Tape on the floor I keep looking, I'm still moving Another step, the others stare A corduroy couch and a metal chair Another joke and I'm off to bed, Waiting for you to depart from my head But it's not the same We're not playing the same game No, it's not the same But I can still see The tape on the floor I keep looking, I'm still moving Tape on the floor I keep looking, I'm still moving

If only you could see me here You'd see I'm not just another beard Take your time You know I'll be waiting for you Take a look outside the window frame You try to tell me you're just the same Keep me going Tell me it's not another game I got your rhythm and you got me back You got my heart and I'm taking it back You got me shaking, you got me shaking Get the table and you know where I'm at You take the time to get away from me You're on the tube and you're all I see Get the table You know I'm just sitting here But it's just taken so much time To see your face get out of my mind See me waiting Until the time is finally up I got your rhythm and you got me back You got my heart and I'm taking it back You got me shaking, you got me shaking Get the table
