Through The Floor

Edwin McCain

Bathed in sunlight woke from

Dreams of murderous intention

Pursued by dogs and men and things

I'm just too scared to mention

And the first thing that I think of

Are her sympathetic eyes

That see with only positive emotion



And she talks of being grumpy

But I know that grumpy's not her style

And I soak up all her beauty

'Cause I'm only here a while

I muddle through my docket, and nestle in the pocket

I just sit back and think about the world



And the only thing I see

When she's looking back at me

Is the promise of how life could be



And as I wrote my chest got tight for her

I know I'm not right for her

I couldn't live if I ever caused her pain



But at least I have a message that I can leave

That tells her of this spin inside

My gears turning. I'm still learning to trust myself

But at least I've told her of this difficult good-bye...



Seven minutes before I'm leaving

And now my chest is heaving

I just can't go like I did before

And tomorrow I'll be miles away and dreaming

That she hears my voice floating through the floor



And tomorrow I'll be miles away and dreaming

That she hears my voice floating through the floor...

Through the floor



That she hears my voice



Tomorrow I'll be miles away and dreaming

That she hears my voice floating through the floor
