I came, nearly unknown, shining as bright as the sun, one look upon you in the morning light and I was scared of the things to come.
I wasn't quite running from the things I had done, just looking for a better face to pull some words from my heartstrings, that I'm scared to let you strum,for  the strings are old, and a tune I just can't hold
Down the hall, down the hall

Last night I watched you retreat inside your shell as your drew a new dimension to yourself, I fear soon I will be just another old memory upon dusty shelf, down the hall, down the hall

Words have been escaping me as you hide inside your walls, a place where you sing all your favorite songs and I'm the only the one who attempts to interpret the feelings behind the high notes you hit, down the hall, down the hall

Now I never see you in my favorite light anymore, exposing your fears, telling me about your last 2 years and how you realized it wasn't what you wanted, down the hall, down the hall

Just like you, I'm afraid to give myself up, far from home, i still sleep alone, but someone called me here, and I came because I knew something Inspirational  was awaiting my arrival, down the hall, down the hall

We are Creatures of the night, I dream of you taking flight, And my hand upon your thigh, I promise I am a man who will not lie, but based on the shine in your eye, I can tell you hope I'm nothing like that last guy, down the hall, down the hall, down the hall, down the hall, I do promise that when and if your ready, I will catch you if you are to fall,
