Lyrics

[00:33.00] From every room hearts spoke through walls too thin to hold
[00:45.00] The weight of what they heard
[00:50.00] So fires crept through spaces long left soft and blurred
[01:08.00] Notes pushed under the doors
[01:14.00] Frozen to the floor we believed everything
[01:25.00] Leaves blown beneath the eaves
[01:32.00] Whirring like a nest of wound-up starlings
[01:43.00] We were young
[01:48.00] We didn’t heed those things
[01:52.00] If birds were singing we were loved
[02:01.00] we were young
[02:05.00] Like the universe
[02:09.00] Like our mothers were
[02:14.00] Like these words
[02:18.00] We were young
[02:22.00] We didn’t heed those things
[02:27.00] If birds were singing we were loved
[02:36.00] We were young
[02:40.00] Like the universe
[02:44.00] Like our mothers were
[02:49.00] Like these words
