[Verse 1] Water found the crack behind the kitchen tile You said leave it, it'll dry in a while I set a blue bowl underneath the stain By morning it had filled again [Pre-Chorus] I know the sound a house makes When it keeps a secret long enough [Chorus] Seepage under every promise A thin dark line beneath the paint You hold the wall, I hold the silence Both of us pretending it will wait [Verse 2] Your coat stayed hooked beside the door Though you hadn't worn it anymore The landlord marked the ceiling twice We learned to live around the price [Bridge] If I pull the plaster from the frame Will the room admit your name? If I let the whole thing open wide Will there be somewhere left to hide? [Chorus] Seepage under every promise A thin dark line beneath the paint You hold the wall, I hold the silence Both of us pretending it will wait [Outro] The blue bowl catches what it can The floor gives softly where we stand
