Crack in the Wall. English Bossa Nova +
[Verse 1] I fold my hands Like they don't shake The room goes thin When I call your name My shadow sits In the corner chair It knows my face But it won't stay there [Pre-Chorus] Scrape of a pick On the strings again A bad little spark At the edge of my skin I taste that turn From bright to black One step forward And I fall right back [Chorus] I am not the one you thought I am not the one you thought I am the crack in the wall I am the sound when it all comes apart. I am not the one you thought I am not the one you thought Hold me down, I slip through your hands I want to stay, but I don't know how [Verse 2] Your name still lives In the lamp's weak glow It bends like smoke Across the floor I wear my doubt Like a borrowed coat Too small for me But I wear it close [Pre-Chorus] Scrape of a pick Then the cold white glare That cruel little shift In the air up there I climb that hill Just to fall back through With my throat on fire And my mouth full of you [Chorus] I am not the one you thought I am not the one you thought I am the crack in the wall I am the sound when it all comes apart I am not the one you thought I am not the one you thought Hold me down, I slip through your hands I want to stay, but I don't know how [Bridge] Leave the door half shut Let the dogs keep barkin' Let the bassline crawl Through the darkened carpet If I break in two Will you call it living Or just the noise Of a heart that won't stop giving [Final Chorus] I am not the one you thought I am not the one you thought I am the crack in the wall I am the sound when it all comes apart I am not the one you thought I am not the one you thought Hold me down, I slip through your hands I want to stay, but I don't know how [Outro] I want to stay I don't know how I want to stay I don't know how
