[Verse 1] Down is low It sits in your chest Stairs to the basement A pile of old coats And a light that won’t stay on You say come through So I do We talk in half-sentences With the washer humming Like it knows the words [Chorus] Down here in the cellar Concrete, cold The radio cuts in and out But we still hear it We still hear it Down here in the cellar No one’s calling We let the minute hand slow down Till it feels like ours Till it feels like ours [Verse 2] I used to think low meant done Door shut, keys on the counter But low can be a place you land Catch your breath Fix the fuse Make a small light work You pull two chairs close Like that changes the weather And maybe it does A little Enough to stay [Chorus] Down here in the cellar Concrete, cold The radio cuts in and out But we still hear it We still hear it Down here in the cellar No one’s calling We let the minute hand slow down Till it feels like ours Till it feels like ours [Bridge] Maybe up there it’s loud Maybe it asks too much Down here, we can say it straight No halo, no act Just a room Just a voice Just tonight [Chorus] Down here in the cellar Concrete, cold The radio cuts in and out But we still hear it We still hear it Down here in the cellar No one’s calling We let the minute hand slow down Till it feels like ours Till it feels like ours
