Lyrics

Smaller Through Words - Regarding Jack

What would the walls say? What would they know?
They call you their sweetheart who's come into her own
Haven't you noticed growing smaller through words?
Carefully trained to forget what hurts
Forget what hurts

Surrender one thing
Make it apparent
I hope to find you strong enough to lay your body down on me

Motherly fingers worn to the bone
If only you'd rested so long ago
I've never collected all the right words
To effectively make known my thoughts, no matter how absurd

But for the first time
Now I truly see
I hope to find you strong enough to lay your body down

The hours unearth us in the parlors of disarray
Smitten and ready; were uncovered and bare
My mind's a balloon taking flight far from yesterday
Hold on tight, don't be scared
