Secret Staircase from The Zags by The Zags

The other day I walked through the woods to a secret staircase
A crumbling pile of stone where love grew its way
Undetected by time, through the weeds and the moss
A place we kept to ourselves, and where I come to feel my loss

Once I was so proud to be your one and only loving guy
Even now my aching heart just hammers as I try
To drag you back to the days when your attention was mine
But when we left our secret staircase, I blew it oh so many times

Remember the words you spoke on the stairs:
“Boy, you’re so intense, you’ve got me scared”

So you took out a paper to keep me away
Baby you misunderstand me, there’s no need for restraint

Now I’m sitting alone in the woods on a secret staircase
In tears but I know you’ll someday see it my way
Oh I’m sorry, can’t let up, won’t say goodbye
