lyrics

Looking back, it's kinda funny to me
I don't know what I expected to see
Hands stuffed in pockets, staring intently
Inches from the paintings hanging in the gallery

Big as this city, light as this feather
And the most profound joy
I'll tear it down forever, like it's some plastic little toy
You showed me how to piece it back together, but I know only to destroy
I know only to destroy
I know only to destroy

Twin bed, neatly made
At the end, I sit and sing
I sing what I know, it ain't a god damn thing
Lamp-lit covers by those I know, and trust to keep us near
I breathe deep for what feels like the first time in years
And sing for you

Big as this city, light as this feather
And the most profound joy
I'll tear it down forever, like it's some plastic little toy
You showed me how to piece it back together, but I know only to destroy
I know only to destroy
I know only to destroy

I know only to destroy
I know only to destroy
I know only to destroy
