lyrics
You made me a bed with your eyes
And I’m wrapped in you.
Caught up in willow trees, rivers I’m sinking into.
First names are enough for tonight, at least while I’m stuck on what might have been.
This fire escape here’s no good, it’s made of wood.
Don’t need to be steady just to last as long as it should.
Plaster of paris, a glance from across the room.
Desire, this here broken mirror we’re looking through.
I’ve memorized all of my lies, caught fire in front of your eyes.
Don’t lose hope - it’s alright, Set your worries aside, no other time to be alive.
Don’t be sad over me, you still don’t know what you’re looking for.
When these tired, walls catch fire
Then we’ll pray for rain
When these tired, walls catch fire
I’ll be far away
