(Intro) (Heavy rhythmic bassline kicks in, bright synth stabs) (One-two, one-two... talk to me!) (Verse 1) We’re dancing on the coffee table, feeling light But I can see the moon through the walls tonight Transparent layers, yeah, we’re living the dream But I can hear a whisper, I can hear a scream We built it up with a view so clear But the clarity is exactly what I fear. (Chorus) Careful where you’re stepping, it’s a fragile thing Living in a glass house, tied to a string One hard word and the walls come down Don't want to see the jagged pieces on the ground Oh, talk to me softly, talk to me slow In this glass house, we got nowhere to go. (Verse 2) I see your reflection in the corner of my eye A beautiful prison under a digital sky You’re throwing stones just to see if they stick The air in the hallway is getting so thick It’s crystal clear and it’s diamond hard But one little crack and we’re caught off guard. (Chorus) Careful where you’re stepping, it’s a fragile thing Living in a glass house, tied to a string One hard word and the walls come down Don't want to see the jagged pieces on the ground Oh, talk to me softly, talk to me slow In this glass house, we got nowhere to go. (Bridge) (Beat strips back to just the bass and a ticking synth) Don’t breathe too heavy, don’t slam the door I can feel the shivers running through the floor It’s beautiful, it’s dangerous, it’s all we know Wait... did you hear that? (Sound of a subtle crystalline chime) Watch out! (Chorus) Careful where you’re stepping, it’s a fragile thing Living in a glass house, tied to a string One hard word and the walls come down Don't want to see the jagged pieces on the ground Oh, talk to me softly, talk to me slow In this glass house, we got nowhere to go. (Outro) (Upbeat funk groove intensifies) It’s so fragile, yeah. Don't let it break, don't let it break. Just talk to me. (Sudden silence)
