Chris Mann - 8 Story Walkup

First flight I see your silhouette and cracked panes on the wall
Perfect imperfections make me step faster
I get the shivers thinking what’s behind the stickers on your door
The anticipation makes me feel lighter

Waited so long waited so long to see you
Get a move on, get a move on
Waited so long waited so long I need to
Get you alone

Sitting on top of the world
Only took 64 steps to heaven
To get me to where you were
In your 8 story walkup
In your 8 story walkup
And I walk it up

I hear your voice and echoes made from the soles of my shoes
I’m in this midtown red brick low rise with the slanted staircase

Waited so long waited so long to see you
Get a move on get a move on
Waited so long waited so long I need to
Get you alone

Sitting on top of the world
Only took 64 steps to heaven
To get me to where you were
In your 8 story walkup
In your 8 story walkup
And I walk it up
I walk it up

Arms and lips and notes and
feeling every moment
we’ll cause a commotion
when I get there
and I’m
Sitting on top of the world
Only took 64 steps to heaven
To get me to where you were
In your 8 story walkup

Sitting on top of the world
Only took 64 steps to heaven
To get me to where you were
In your 8 story walkup
In your 8 story walkup
And I walk it up
