Slow Elevator Eyes

Lyrics
Fourteen floors and a look that lingers Mirror in the doors, I'm watching your fingers Tap the rail slow while the numbers climb Neither of us speaking, we're both out of time Perfume of the evening, rain on your coat Something in the silence, words in my throat Almost said hello twice on the way Almost, almost, almost, okay Floor by floor, my heart is slow Do you feel it too? I want to know Slow elevator eyes, meeting in the glass Slow elevator eyes, hoping this moment lasts Doors about to open, don't let me go Slow elevator eyes, say hello Bell is gonna ring and the doors will part Everyone will leave but you're in my heart Smile like a secret that I'm not supposed to read You hold the button, that's all I need Twenty seconds feels like a love song Short little ride but it feels so long Say my name, say it soft and low Let the whole building wait, we can take it slow Floor by floor, my heart is slow Do you feel it too? I want to know Slow elevator eyes, meeting in the glass Slow elevator eyes, hoping this moment lasts Doors about to open, don't let me go Slow elevator eyes, say hello Lobby lights, city nights Hold the door, hold me tight If it's just a ride, then it's a ride I'll keep If it's more than that, don't let me sleep Slow elevator eyes, meeting in the glass Slow elevator eyes, hoping this moment lasts Doors about to open, don't let me go Slow elevator eyes, say hello Say hello Say hello
