On the 20th Floor

13,760 Feet--Living with TWA Flight 800

Words by Mark L Berry and Music by Matt Pierce
Performed by Matt Pierce

On the 20th Floor – lyrics

musician Matt Pierce

(1st chorus)
On the 20th floor
She’s waiting for me
She opens the door
For my therapy
On the 20th floor
Office of psychology
My counselor
With a grief specialty

(verse 1)
The session begins
With a big hug hello
And she’s never the first
It’s me that lets go
She opens our session
With how do I feel?
My eyes are open
But nothing feels real

(2nd chorus)
On the 20th floor
She’s there for me
Inside the door
Of my therapy
On the 20th floor
Office of psychology
My counselor
With a grief specialty

I get through my days
From sun-up to sunset
In a repetitive haze
Through eyes that stay wet
So she offers to listen
And she nods once or twice
And only when time’s up
She offers advice

(3rd chorus)
On the 20th floor
She’s there for me
Inside the door
Of my therapy
On the 20th floor
Office of psychology
My counselor
With a grief specialty

There are no easy answers
There’s no quick way to heal
There isn’t a short cut
Through the pain that I feel
She walks me to the door
And she hugs me once more
Until the elevator opens
On the 20th floor

(4th chorus)
On the 20th floor
She sets me free
Until I need more
Of her therapy
On the 20th floor
Office of psychology
That’s where I store
My broken side of me
