I felt I knew you long before you walked into the door
Before the elevator broke on the 97th floor
You never knew your dad, family's always been a chore
You said religion gave you lots, but Laurel Canyon gave you more
You had tears in your eyes
We were waiting in the dark
You had tears in your eyes
Off the arrow, on the mark
Now you're running down the hall pushing cameras to the side
Oh how it's spoken with the sounds that are coming from your eyes
We have methods we have ways and we have aching broken sores
But you said "I am like a wave, and you're a rocky shore."
You took a year to decide
We were banging on the door
You took a year to decide
That you were meant for something more
It started with a noise that made us both close our eyes
And as the elevator fell, I could have sworn I saw you smile
But we had tears in our eyes
We were weightless in the dark
We had tears in our eyes
Off the arrow, on the mark
We had tears in our eyes.
