[Verse 1] Coffee cup lipstick Half-moon stain Record keeps skipping On your old refrain Clock keeps laughing At my slow parade I dance with your shadow Till the colors fade [Chorus] Lonely days Doing that sideways sway Talking to the ceiling Like it might talk back someday Lonely days Spinning in satin haze Only thing holding me Is the rhythm that you left in my veins [Verse 2] Curtains breathe softly Like they know your name Neighbors keep arguing Right on time again I hum you in fragments Out of tune But true Every little echo Paints the room in you [Chorus] Lonely days Doing that sideways sway Talking to the ceiling Like it might talk back someday Lonely days Spinning in satin haze Only thing holding me Is the rhythm that you left in my veins [Bridge] I tap on the table (hey!) You answer in my mind Every little shuffle Says you’re right on the other side If I close my eyes Let the whole room slide I can almost feel you Breathing by my side [Chorus] Lonely days Doing that sideways sway Talking to the ceiling Like it might talk back someday Lonely days Spinning in satin haze Only thing holding me Is the rhythm that you left in my veins
