lyrics

i swear this place i do not know
these new surroundings
how? what? where? i got in here
i thought i heard your voice repeat
i'll leave a key, i'll leave a key
why and where are you hiding?
are you hiding in these new surroundings

i catch the warmth under my coat
like fires i have coaxed inside
this silent corner of some building
wide fixed stare these new surroundings
winter gloves heavy in the morning
side with me

i straighten up i am alone
gathering sticks and sparking stones
i catch my breath against the stove
frosted clouds escaping
one, two three i was singing
i thought your voice would come and find me
inside this building i was haunting
one, two, three i was singing
songs i thought you would know

if i sleep now
will i wake up with you beside me?
will i wake up to find
you've crept inside my coat?
your small arms
wrapped in circles all around me
your pink neck
standing steel against the morning
your pink cheeks, your slow breath
hardly moving
will i wake up the silent tenant of some building?
with my winter gloves damp in the morning
carry me if you can hear me

i check your mirror
pull my hair back into shape
my eyes a mess i feel ashamed
and maybe someone else
is sleeping through this morning
and maybe other fires
burn throughout this building
and i should put mine out to ash
while i'm still standing
