lyrics

Your still-beating heart was a dead metaphor
Or a dead horse, a pang of buyer’s remorse
And I, with nothing to lose, shook the rocks from my shoes
Because it’s a long walk to the fifth floor

I’ve saved up pictures of apartments
I won’t live in and you won’t see
A garden of forking paths
Float every possibility till the morning

We’ll figure out everything in the morning
Just wait until the morning
I’ll get back to you in the morning
In the morning

Although I tried my best, I couldn’t lose you in the move
So tell me what’s it going to take to get forgot?
I won’t conceal I was a crooked, crooked deal
But still the only car left on the lot

And if you’ve got your heart set
I’ll do anything to change it
But for now I’m keeping silent
I’ll read more carefully in the morning

As the grass grows and the paint dries
And the wind blows sand into my eyes
I keep the past close, more than life-size
God, I hold those afterthoughts like a prize
Don’t act so surprised
I tried to give you every warning

But that’s not how it’s going to strike us
In the sober light of morning
In the morning
Just let me figure it out in the morning
I’ll get back to you in the morning
Just give me till the morning

There’s a hallway in my heart
But somebody changed all the locks
There’s a hallway in my heart
But the fire escape is blocked
