Twenty Seven Thousand Things

V5

[Verse 1] Twenty seven thousand things I miss about you The number feels wild You were only one One plus one should make two So why does it feel Like twenty seven thousand pieces Of some life we almost had Scattered in the kitchen light I felt like a queen Bare feet in the dirt Keeping my head But My feet in the ground I buried my crown In the winter’s snow Like it burned when I touched it Like it knew I’d let it go [Chorus] Twenty seven thousand things I can’t fix Every breath feels like one more on the list I threw my heart in the field with the goats Let the dark chew the color from the notes I’m gonna lie in the snow Let the cold crawl up my skin I don’t want saving I want the numbness to win [Verse 2] I chucked my heart Past the old stone wall Where the wild grass leans And the black birds call Told the night air “Do what you came here to do” Let it bite through my jacket Till it bites through you I used to hold gold In the crook of my smile Now my jaw just shakes If I laugh for a while All this white on the ground Feels honest Feels clean If I sink far enough Maybe I stop being me [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] If you saw me now Would you pull me from the frost Or count the clouds above my body Like the ways we both got lost I keep hoping for a blackout Not a sunrise Not a sign Just the soft erasing silence That forgets you were ever mine [Chorus]
