[Verse 1] I keep a glass key On a frayed red cord It cuts my palm Every time I reach for more Your name on my tongue Like a loose iron nail I swallow it down And I still taste the rain [Pre-Chorus] I built this wall From the things I said Now I live inside The echo instead [Chorus] Hold the glass key Don't ask me why Hold the glass key Let it lie [Verse 2] The sink runs cold In the same cracked bowl I count the nights By the holes in the wall I hear your laugh In the fan's dull hum Then the whole room shakes And I come undone [Pre-Chorus] I built this wall From the things I said Now I live inside The echo instead [Chorus] Hold the glass key Don't ask me why Hold the glass key Let it lie [Bridge] If I pull too hard The lock will split If I stay too long I vanish with it So I spin in place Like a wire in rain One more second And I say your name [Chorus] Hold the glass key Don't ask me why Hold the glass key Let it lie [Outro] I learned the hard way I learned the hard way how Hold the glass key I learned the hard way how
