[Verse 1] You stir your tea too slow The sky outside glows wrong The headlines bloom like flowers That shouldn’t live this long There’s sirens in the breeze Like choirs out of tune I watch the ceiling crack Like petals in a room [Pre-Chorus] If I move, it shifts the fragile scene If I shout, it shakes the veneer So I keep my body still Like glass that holds the fear [Chorus] Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do The cities bow in slow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do Like it’s one step from snow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do Each building learns to glow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do As the fault lines grow [Verse 2] You smooth your wrinkled sleeve Like curtains on a stage The streets out there fall silent In carefully framed decay I could name the breaking seas I could call the final flare But I just trace your shadow line And breathe the fragile air [Pre-Chorus] If I move, it shifts the fragile scene If I speak, it might un-conceal So I keep my language poised Like glass that will not heal [Chorus] Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do The cities bow in slow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do Like it’s one step from snow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do Each building learns to glow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do As the oceans grow [Bridge] Maybe I’m not afraid of ash Maybe I’m afraid of how it lands When the perfect, falling pieces Touch your unsuspecting hands So I stay where the almost burns In the breath between collapse and true [Final Chorus] Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do The cities bow in slow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do Like it’s one step from snow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do Each heartbeat learns to glow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do As I fall with you
