Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The room is dressed in gold
Champagne in crystal hands
I smile at all the talk
But I don't feel where I stand
Your shadow finds the banister
Before your face appears
I turn, and time goes soft
Like rain behind my ears
[Pre-Chorus]
One step, then two
My chest goes thin
The whole hall fades
When you walk in
[Chorus]
Down the stairs, down the stairs
You break my heart in slow motion
Down the stairs, down the stairs
Every look is a devotion
I can't move, I can't breathe
When you come close to me
Down the stairs, down the stairs
Oh, you ruin me so sweet
[Verse 2]
The lace on my dress
Catches on my hand
I try to be composed
But I don't understand
How can you feel unreal
And still feel mine
Like every careful move
Is a knife through ribbon line
[Pre-Chorus]
One step, then two
My pulse gives in
The whole world bends
When you walk in
[Chorus]
Down the stairs, down the stairs
You break my heart in slow motion
Down the stairs, down the stairs
Every look is a devotion
I can't move, I can't breathe
When you come close to me
Down the stairs, down the stairs
Oh, you ruin me so sweet
[Bridge]
If this is only in my head
Don't wake me now
Let me keep that haunted glow
Let me figure you out
One hand on the rail
One glance at me
And the night goes still
Like it's made for me
[Final Chorus]
Down the stairs, down the stairs
You break my heart in slow motion
Down the stairs, down the stairs
Every look is a devotion
I can't move, I can't breathe
When you come close to me
Down the stairs, down the stairs
Oh, you ruin me so sweet
Down the stairs, down the stairs
I fall for you completely
