Jack Davis and Crossbite - Apartment 309 lyrics

There's a light on in apartment 309 There's a light on in apartment 309 Sometimes things just don't add up Don't seem to have no reason or rhyme Laying in my bed, looking at the city lights, my mind floats back in time Six months ago, she first moved in upstairs Smiles in the hallway spoke the loneliness we shared Day by day, the pull between us grew and grew, till the night she lay in my arms the whole night through But something always stayed between us, a thing that never had a name It put a distant fear in her eye, and an unrelenting pain I'd ask what was wrong, she'd just smile and turn away But the shudder I could only feel told me what she couldn't say There's no hope in the multitudes, when you're the only one who can feel the constant shadow and be a stranger to the sun There's a light on in apartment 309 There's a light on in apartment 309 Her own demons, they chased her to the very edge of the world A refugee from midnight, my sweet tormented girl Beautiful lady, with a vise grip on her soul In six months time, I watched her child's eyes grow old Till she stood at her open window with a plea in her eye, then she looked up at the moonlight, and she leaped to the sky 309's been vacant three weeks now with a padlock on the door But sometimes, late at night overhead, I hear footsteps on the floor When I close my eyes, I hear her whispering my name I tell myself it's nothing, just my mind playing games Gotta be imagination, just a dream and nothing more But then I stare at the crack in my ceiling that pokes up through her floor So why's there a light on in apartment 309? Can't shake this feeling, something got left behind Footsteps getting louder, now her door creaks open wide And now on my door a knocking for whoever waits inside And it's for me It's for me
