All that you noticed, a moment in time.
A photograph lost here since you were mine.
I'll wait back here.

Or should I start pushing my way back?
Yeah, should I start pushing my way back?

I walk past your room in deep silhouette.
You're tired of racing, you're down and upset.
I’ll wait back here.

A cold ended evening, a soaked cigarette...
I'm asleep on a shoulder that i've never met.
I’ll wait back here...

Or should I start pushing my way back? (yeah)
Should I start pushing my way?

Cold... and the whiskey is wearing,
And i'm on the edge of my breath.
Oh... and I'm thinking of leaving.
I could just lay down, lay down and freeze to death.

Hold on...

A cold winter sun, my feet underground...
A pale winter city, a numbness for sound...

• Debuted 2/4/03, Paris, France during the Tori Amos Tour (Leg 2)
• Numbness For Sound and She Says are the only two songs on the new album that were independently by Howie Day.  Howie has often referred to it as his favorite song on the new album.
• The defining moment on "Numbness" is the line "freeze to death."  Second to musings in "Come Lay Down," this is often regarded as the emotional high-point of Stop All the World Now.
