Lyrics DESCENDING THE STAIRS - Whitey

DESCENDING THE STAIRS

Descending the stairs
I start with the feeling
That something I needed was lost
And going through my pockets
I wasn’t really sure what it was
And walking through the morning air
I get a feeling that something was no longer there
So I went through all my pockets again
And didn’t know what I lost
Then back up the stairs, that night
When I switched on the light, it felt empty and dark
The answer came through to me, clear as a voice from above
That I can’t live without anything
If I can’t live without love
I don’t need a million things
Need a brighter screen
Need a tropical dream
I don’t need the latest wheels
Just to roll me around
I don’t need to dress to impress
Keeping up with the rest
Stamper brand on my chest
I don’t need to read about the
I don’t need position
I don’t need confession
I don’t need the session to talk
Nothing’s as important, now I’m living somewhere above
Cause I can’t live without anything
Now I can’t live without love
Cause I can’t live without anything
Now I can’t live without love
What’s your definition of love?
Love?
It’s kind of like, you know, when you see a fog in the morning,
when you wake up before the sun comes out.
It’s just there a little while,
and then it burns away…
Really?
Absolutely
It burns away?
Yes.
Quickly
I don’t need permission
Holding my position
Changing my decisions
Wondering just why, and where, and how, and what is allowed
Late night complications
Futile conversations
Endlessly in the morning
With the same few situations
I don’t need to read about the
(Getting louder, and louder, and louder, and louder…)
I don’t need position
I don’t need confession
I don’t need the session to talk
Nothing’s as important, now I’m living somewhere above
Cause I can’t live without anything
Now I can’t live without love (love, love, love…)
Cause I can’t live without anything
Now I can’t live without love (Without love…)
