lyrics

I expect so much
To fall into my hands,
When I don’t know what’s safe to touch
I’m tossing ashes to the ground
It’s the one thing I know how to do
You’re a voice on the phone
In a universe where everything feels… under control
But it’s not the one I live in
Just one where I’m existing with you

And I know that it’s not fair
For me to say I’m scared
It’s a paper-thin wall I live behind
But I’ll be your dancing silhouette
If you give me just a little more time

We’ve never been conventional
Never been on time, no
It’s enough to make ‘em
Wanna know just who we think we are
Never said I was perfect
I never said you were,
But I’d build a city using all imperfect parts

I’ve made a little space
For something that I only half-expect to show its face
When that face is what I can only
Imagine to be something that
I can hold in my hands
What’s safe to hold in my hands?

And I know that it’s not fair
For me to feel so scared
It’s a side-effect of waiting for a lifeline
But I’ll be your dancing silhouette
All I need is just a little more time

We’ve never been conventional
Never been on time, no
It’s enough to make ‘em
Wanna know just who we think we are
Never said I was perfect
And I never said you were
But I’d build a city using all imperfect parts

We never did one single thing in order
So we took our hearts
And we cut them into quarters
But I could put things back in place
If you could hold it steady
I could put things back in place
If you could hold it steady
And I could light your cigarette
If for once I got there at the right time

But we’ve never been conventional
Never been on time
It’s enough to make ‘em
Wanna know who we think we are
Never said that I was perfect and
I never said that you were
But I’d build a city using all imperfect parts
I’d build a city using all imperfect parts
I’d live in your city made of all imperfect parts
