[VERSE 1] Three floors high Evening light on the walls Everyone outside Voices carry through it all Swings moving slow Sand sticking to my shoes Parents talking close But none of it came through Bushes by the walls Branches on our sleeves We cut through the gaps Like somewhere we could leave [PRE-CHORUS] No reason why Just you and I [CHORUS] We talked and it worked Every word fell right You knew what I meant Before I finished mine We talked and it worked Nothing lost in between It all made sense Like something we had seen [VERSE 2] Rowan berries red Lining up the yard Every fall the birds Started flying hard Straight into the walls Dropping from the sky People said they’re drunk We never asked why We just stood and watched Didn’t look away It was always there Happening that way [PRE-CHORUS] They talked above We had enough [CHORUS] We talked and it worked Every word fell right You knew what I meant Before I finished mine We talked and it worked Nothing lost in between It all made sense Like something we had seen [BRIDGE] Someone called to us From somewhere out of reach I turned and asked you Do you hear what they mean? You said no Same as me Like it never made it down Where we used to be [CHORUS] We talked and it worked Clearer than it is now Before something changed I don’t know how We talked and it worked And it stayed that way Until it slipped Somewhere away
