The Seat Across

Cláudio Fontenelle

Go! Cláudio staring at the calendar page
Another circle around the Sun

Another lonely age: February 14
Red hearts on the glass

Watching all the happy couples in the street light packs
Watching all the happy couples in the street light pass

He's got the table set for two, but the air is thin
Wondering when his own story is going to begin

Impatience like a fever burning through the night
Waiting on a shadow that'll turn into the light

Oh, Cláudio is waiting, his heart is on the line
Tired of the waiting for a baby and a sign

Valentine is coming, but he's still standing still
That empty space beside him

That hunger in his soul
Waiting on a piece to finally make him him whole

Finally make him whole
Radio is huming, singing about the bliss

Every song is a reminder of the lips he hasn't kissed
He's pacing through the hallway, checking on the phone

It's a different kind of silence when you're waiting all alone
Cláudio's got the rhythm, but he's missing the song

And patience in his marrow: Knowing where he don't belong
Another holiday is passing like a freight train blur

Still looking for the one who's better than
The rest were better than the rest

Cláudio's waiting, his heart is on the line
Tired of the waiting for a baby and a sign

Valentine's coming, but he still stands still
That empty space beside us, that hunger in the soul

Waiting on the piece to finally make it home
Make them home, can't wait no more

No, I can't sit still, I can't hide the door
Cláudio's ready, can you hear the sound?

Love is the only thing that's missing in this town
Yeah, I'm calling it out, I'm screaming clear

Is there a soul out there who's ready to hear?
Waiting, his heart is on the line

Tired of the waiting for a baby outside
But still standing still that empty beside

Him that hunger in his soul waiting on finally
Making you still waiting waiting on you

Cling Valentine's come and gone but the fire stays on
