[00:00.14] ...

[00:00.89] If I had to break it down

[00:04.13] I'd say it's the way you love to dance

[00:12.13] Movin' the furniture when my back is turned

[00:21.14] The flick of the lights and the world falls away

[00:26.39] And your office job and your silver hair

[00:32.40] But our shapes in the dark are the reason I've stayed

[00:38.78] For all these years

[00:54.28] I thought I was a genius, but now I'm twenty-two

[01:03.79] And it's startin' to feel like all I know how to do is

[01:12.04] Put on a suit and take it away

[01:22.03] With my fistful of tunes that it's painful to play

[01:28.68] Fingernail worlds like favourite seashells

[01:35.19] They fill up my nights and then they float away

[01:49.69] I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got paintings in frames

[01:56.19] And a throat that fills with panic every festival day

[02:02.94] Dutifully fallin' apart for the Princess of Norway

[02:16.33] But you with your doll's lashes, your infinite T-shirts

[02:30.58] I should've known when your favourite record was the same as my father's

[02:38.58] You'd take me down

[02:45.83] I guess I'll always be this way

[02:50.33] Swallowed up by the words and halfway to space

[02:58.33] But there by the fire, you offered your hand

[03:06.22] And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan

[03:13.48] You felled me clean as a pine

[03:25.22] The man with the axe and the look in his eyes

[03:50.47] We've been through so many hard times

[03:54.72] I'm writin' a love song for you, baby
