[Verse 1] I could quit the room mid-sentence Let the frame come off the wall Watch the careful little system Lose its balance, lose it all There’s a wildness in the wreckage In the space after the sound A fresh page with no instructions And no old shape to answer to [Pre-Chorus] For a second, that feels like freedom Like the air might hit brand new Then I picture your face when you find out And I can’t make myself do it to you [Chorus] I want to pull the pin and watch it scatter Start from nothing, let the pieces fall But I know who’d be standing in the damage And I care too much to call it nothing at all [Verse 2] I could turn the good into a question Say the sharp thing, cut the thread There’s a thrill in not knowing what comes after When the old life’s finally dead But your hand would reach for my shoulder You’d be trying to understand So I swallow down the grand departure And stay here where you can stand [Bridge] Maybe wanting isn’t doing Maybe fire can stay a thought I can feel the whole world tipping Without tipping what we’ve got [Final Chorus] I want to pull the pin and watch it scatter Start from nothing, let the pieces fall But I know who’d be standing in the damage And I care too much to call it nothing at all I care too much to call it nothing at all [Outro] Let it settle Let it stand I’m still here I’m still here
