A F# A
the sound of fingers
F# D
scratching slow behind the wall

you tried to hold me closer so
B A
i wouldn’t heed the call

they’re on our doorstep
F# D
peaking grinning through the blinds

we’ll never wear our skeletons right
B A
we kept our closets locked and tight
D A
any day now

with the flame of the sun in the south
B D B D B
we’ll take our paces, have it out
A F# A
the lives of others
F# D
with their short hairs entwined

they make the sirens sing and sigh

any day now
F# D
we’ll comb our grey hairs aside

we’re phantom limbs that itch at night
D A
any day now
D F#
when the weight comes a tumbling down
B A
we’ll skin our knees and beat the ground

clutching hope like a corner of cloth

and now i know your peaks and troughs
B A G D
and the stains that’ll never come off

such a long face

with a pull like a body in space

the pieces falling into place

with a low, undeniable sound

we deserve everything that we found
