lyrics

Warm up your hands at the heart of the fire.
Lay your head down in a pile of leaves.
Zip up the sweater your mother made you,
holes in the pockets, stains on the sleeves.

Falling forward, bending backwards.
Mouthing your words: Let's go faster.
Crawling towards words, bend me backwards.
Letters like swords, past disasters.

Gather the bottles. Open the windows.
Pick up the pieces. Take out the trash.
Look at me slowly. Hold my hand softly.
Carve our names into a pile of ash.

Falling for words, bending backwards.
Letters like swords, past disasters.
Falling forwards, ending faster.
Mouthing your words: Let’s go backwards.
