lyrics
You wanted my soul
Gave it to you three times over
Does it feel uncomfortable?
Like something you love about yourself
You wish people could see
Like when you said
Sometimes bravery means
Trying again tomorrow
Mercurial, these two stilted birds
Dark, temporal
Dogs that run toward but never touch
Unfathomable form
Soft, propitious adore
Bronze, arching over your
Calm, holding me toward
I wanted to call
Couldn’t get my heart to wrap it
Straight into the crystal ball
You would’ve rolled your eyes at
What the card said
What does it mean to care?
I hope that after all that we shared
You’d at least say it to my face
Unfathomable form
Soft, propitious adore
Bronze, arching over your
Calm, holding me toward
Gave it to you three times over
Does it feel uncomfortable?
Like something you love about yourself
You wish people could see
Like when you said
Sometimes bravery means
Trying again tomorrow
Mercurial, these two stilted birds
Dark, temporal
Dogs that run toward but never touch
Unfathomable form
Soft, propitious adore
Bronze, arching over your
Calm, holding me toward
I wanted to call
Couldn’t get my heart to wrap it
Straight into the crystal ball
You would’ve rolled your eyes at
What the card said
What does it mean to care?
I hope that after all that we shared
You’d at least say it to my face
Unfathomable form
Soft, propitious adore
Bronze, arching over your
Calm, holding me toward
