Paragraph Lyric
Wake up, try on your disguise
Would they recognize you anyway?
Would they?
Dead leaves lie down beneath your feet
As you step into the street
And notice the distance between hearts and homes
But still, you know

It's all right
You're not looking back this time
You know it's all right
You're stepping on the cracks
And you feel fine

Don't waste your breath
You wouldn't want this anyway
If you did, I think I'd let you
Talk this to death
Or in circles, like we're in aeroplanes
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out
We would sputter

Outside, construction workers pour
A brand new basement floor
But then the ground starts shaking
Fault lines to your own front door
I looked at this and thought of you
And all that is and isn't true
And with the strength left in me
Walked on while the walls came down

It's all right
You're not looking back this time
You know it's all right
I'm stepping on the cracks
And I feel fine

Don't waste your breath
You wouldn't want this anyway
If you did, I think I'd let you
Talk this to death
Or in circles, like we're in aeroplanes
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out
We would sputter
We would sputter
We would sputter
We would sputter out

Don't waste your breath
You wouldn't want this anyway
'Cause if you did, I think I'd let you
Talk this to death
And circle like we're in aeroplanes
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out
(We would sputter)
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out
(We would sputter)
And all along
I knew that we would sputter out
We would sputter
We would sputter down
