[Verse 1]
Who's softly slipping down the stairs?
Is someone sitting in that empty chair?
Who's moving the air
And brushing my hair
With their fingertips?
[Chorus 1]
Someone's coming
(Ready or not)
I hear them breathing
(In the mystery spot)
Rattling locks
And winding the clocks
Leaving fingerprints
[Verse 2]
Someone's whispering in my ears
All my hopes and all my fears
Counting the years
And catching my tears
On their fingertips
[Chorus 2]

(About this place)
Is something hiding
(In that empty space?)
Walking the halls
And pounding the walls
Leaving fingerprints

Another sign I can't ignore
They crossed the floor
And touched me once more
With their fingertips
[Chorus 2]
Something's different
(About this place)
Is something hiding
(In that empty space?)
Walking the halls
And pounding the walls
Leaving fingerprints
(Leaving fingerprints)
Leaving fingerprints
(Leaving fingerprints)
Leaving fingerprints
(Leaving fingerprints)
Leaving fingerprints
(Leaving fingerprints)
[Outro]
Someone laughs and reaches down
Cracks the plates and spins the world around
On their fingertips
