[Verse]
D A G
Good night, good night, wild-haired girl.
D A G
Let your hemisphere eyes take respite from the world.
D A G
Did you know that we grow even when we’re asleep,
Bm A G Bm A G
Like the city we breathe in, like the love we believe in?
Bm A G
Bm A G
And it grows.
D A G
Tell me, my love, do you recall,
D A G
Our old home, the air there, the layers of wallpaper
D A G
Curling back down to our nest on the ground?
Bm A G Bm A G
And see there was no ceiling, no walls, no floor, no feeling.
Bm A G Bm A G
Oh, but he grows. Yeah, he grows.
D A G D
This song ain’t finished. The verses are short and weak, just like the hours,
A G
the days, the weeks, the months, the years, the centuries.
D A G
It’s like me, incomplete, full of holes springing leaks.
Bm A G
Maybe you and me could sit down and work out this chorus,
Bm A G
See the coils in the wallpaper before us.
Bm A G
And the gods, the gods will close the window and ignore us.
Bm A G
And the lines, these times, the signs, will bind, oh, and burn.
