From an empty room on the first floor   As the cars pass by the liquor store   I deconstruct my thoughts at this piano   And it's all that I can do to stay with   All the things I didn't say to you   Before you moved across the country      And from the burning building where I lay   As I watch the stars become the day   The L.A. girls were lacing up their sneakers   They run the boardwalks and the beach   This fishbowl life is all they need   It's everything I needed too      Until I heard the news   I'll send this message through the speakers   They told me that you moved   I'll cross this country on a frequency      But I am slipping through, I am slipping through   I am slipping into the airwaves   And this is nothing new, you are slipping through   My fingers and into the airwaves   The static's where you'll find me      From the corner by the studio   The gold-soaked afternoon comes slow   I deconstruct my thoughts and I am walking by   On third street, the freak show thrives   Santa Monica's alive, but   Something's not so right inside      Living with the news   I'll send this message through the speakers   They told me that you moved   I'll cross this country on a frequency      But I am slipping through, I am slipping through   I am slipping into the airwaves   The static's where you'll find me   And this is nothing new, you are slipping through   My fingers and into the airwaves   Into the airwaves      So hold on, it's gonna be a hard day   So hang on   Don't panic, don't panic   There simply is no need      It's gonna be a hard day   It's gonna be a hard day   Don't panic, don't panic   We are hanging here   We are hanging here      I am slipping through, I am slipping through   I am slipping into the airwaves   The static's where you'll find me   And this is nothing new, you are slipping through   My fingers and into the airwaves   Into the airwaves      It's gonna be a hard day   It's gonna be a hard day   So hang on   Don't panic, don't panic   There simply is no need      It's gonna be a hard day   It's gonna be a hard day   It's gonna be a hard day   Don't panic, don't panic   We are hanging here      It's gonna be a hard day   But we are hanging here   It's gonna be a hard day   We are hanging here   We are hanging here
