[Verse 1] You always take the window seat Count the cars on every street Say the numbers calm your mind Add them up and leave the rest behind [Chorus] Eighty-eight You said that’s your lucky sign Two loops crossing in your mind When the world feels out of place You just trace it in the air In the air Eighty-eight Every time you start to shake You write it on a napkin Let it stay Till the edges of the fear fall away Eighty-eight [Verse 2] Saw it once on our old door Faded paint on second floor You laughed and said “we’ll be okay” “Looks like we already found our way” [Chorus] [Bridge] Some days you can barely speak Hands cold Heart loud Knees weak I just hold you Count with you “Eight Eight”—till the sky turns blue [soft harmonies swelling] [Chorus]
