Ragtime Gal

These walls have asked about you
Years have passed and gone
Thousands of words you've spoken to me
I can't remember one

You were always the air I breathe
Now water in my lungs
Passing by you like a silent movie
Reminding me we're done

Wait, don't drive away
You cannot stay
Don't try today
You cannot stay

Wait I can't hear a sound (Don't come my way)
You're moving your mouth (If you want to)
Nothing comes out (stay)
Nothing comes out

This world has taken from me
All I have to gain
Now there's nothing but a mess of silhouettes
To take your place

You were always the warmth I felt
Now fire in my veins
Passing through me all the violet shades
Are fading into gray

Wait, don't drive away
You cannot stay
Don't try today
You cannot stay (Wait)

I can't hear a sound (Don't come my way)
You're moving your mouth (If you want to)
Nothing comes out (stay)
Nothing comes out

I wanna be your babe
If you want to
Nothing comes out
Nothing comes out

I wanna be your babe
If you want to
Nothing comes out
Nothing comes out
