lyrics

everything in this house
is held up with thumbtacks
a monument to impermanence
and a half-laid plan
to get somewhere far from where we're heading
but I don't like to think about it like that

as we sleep
the house gets colder
till I wake restless with winter at my core
and your tousled head at my shoulder
I turn
and put my back against your warmth

and I get better
a little every day
it's hard to see the change
when you're a whole lap off the pace
but I get further
a little every day
and I keep waking up next to you
knowing something's gonna break
