Moths Against The Glass

[Verse 1] There’s a light behind the curtains Though nobody lives there now And the ivy keeps on climbing Through the cracks above the house I can hear the river breathing Somewhere underneath the trees And the moths are at the window Like they’re trying to get to me [Pre-Chorus] Every wing against the glass Sounds like something from the past Trying to come home [Chorus] Moths against the glass Beating where the light is warm Little ghosts with paper wings Gathering before the storm And I wonder if they know What waits beyond the glow Or if they only see the light And never see the fire [Verse 2] Your coat is still behind the doorway Your name is underneath my tongue There are songs we never finished There are bells that never rung Sometimes just before the morning When the room is turning blue I swear the floorboards whisper Like the house remembers you [Pre-Chorus] Every wing against the glass Calls another shadow back Into the room [Chorus] Moths against the glass Beating where the light is warm Little ghosts with paper wings Gathering before the storm And I wonder if they know What waits beyond the glow Or if they only see the light And never see the fire [Instrumental / Violin Interlude] [Bridge — quiet at first] Maybe love is only this A fragile thing that can’t resist The brightest place it ever knew Maybe we were just the same Circling something without a name Until the flame came shining through [Build] Still we came Still we came Still we came back to the light [Final Chorus — full band] Moths against the glass Throwing shadows through the room Tiny hearts against the night Trying to outrun the moon And if loving means we burn I suppose we never learn We only see the light ahead And fly toward it again [Outro — stripped back] There’s a light behind the curtains Though nobody lives there now And one moth against the window Keeps beating softly down.
