The Upstairs Room Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I love it, all these games we play
I close my eyes, you run away
I'm sure I asked you to stay
But now you're gone
[Verse 2]
Today I feel a grey pulse in my head
I turn off the lights and crawl into bed
I try to think of sunshine
But my body goes wet with the first crash of thunder
[Chorus]
I don't think
I could love
Anyone but you
That's for sure
[Verse 2]
And when it gets to fall, it's my turn to go
Oh, the kiss, so alcoholic and slow
Arranged a meet for Saturday, I thought you would know
That I always sleep alone
[Chorus]
I don't think
I could love
Anyone but you, dear
That's for sure
[Refrain]
That's for sure
That's for sure
That's for sure
[Bridge]
The upstairs room is cool and bright
We could go up there in summer and dance all night
Your sister started talking at a minute after ten
'Til everyone jumped up and then fell over again
In April you can join them and stare at me
At the ghost from your past
At the ghost from your past
At the ghost from your past
At the ghost from your past
[Chorus]
I don't think
I could love
Anyone but you, dear
That's for sure
[Refrain]
That's for sure
