Someone's Walkin' Around Upstairs
Echoes of Heartache: Someone New in Our Two-Story House
Lyrics
Someone's walkin' around upstairs
Feeling the presence of someone moving on the upper floor
I can hear him
Expressing the ability to hear the person upstairs
And he just got up from sleepin' in our bed
Noticing that the person just woke up from sleeping in their shared bed
And I'll wake and realize
Realizing upon waking that the previous situation was a dream
I was dreamin'
Confirming the dreamlike nature of the previous experience
But even when I'm stoned awake
Expressing a state of heightened awareness even when fully awake
I can't get it out of my head
Being unable to stop thinking about the imagined scenario
Cause I know someone's gonna take my place
Acknowledging the possibility of someone else taking their place
And walk up that 'ol stair way
Anticipating the replacement's ascent up the stairs
To the room where I walked out on you
Referring to the room where the singer left the partner
Please understand I couldn't stay
Explaining the difficulty in staying in the relationship
I see a two story house
Imagining a two-story house with a new person in the singer's bed
With someone new warmin' up my bed
Highlighting the presence of someone else in the singer's bed
Someone's walkin' around upstairs
Reiterating the perception of someone walking upstairs
And I can't get it out of my head
Expressing the persistent nature of these thoughts
Cause I know someone's gonna take my place
Repeating the fear of being replaced and the subsequent climb up the stairs
And walk up that 'ol stair way
Anticipating the replacement's journey to the room where the singer left
To the room where I walked out on you
Reiterating the difficulty in staying in the relationship
Please understand I couldn't stay
Explaining the singer's inability to remain in the relationship
I see a two story house
Imagining a two-story house with a new person in the singer's bed
With someone new warmin' up my bed
Reiterating the presence of someone else in the singer's bed
Someone's walkin' around upstairs
Repeating the perception of someone walking upstairs
And I can't get it out of my head
Reemphasizing the persistence of these haunting thoughts
Someone's walkin' around upstairs
Repeating the perception of someone walking around upstairs
And I can't get it out of my head
Reiterating the difficulty in shaking off these persistent thoughts
