lyrics

Will the bottom fall out beneath it?
Will the bottom fall out beneath it?

Sometimes it’s Saturday
Sometimes I am blue
Sometimes I forget about the tender hearts
Weak like fractured glass.

The wait for it
The weight of it
The taste of it
Erased by it.

We step and save
We build and cave
We tilt the frame
To win the game.

Yeah, I’m okay
Like everyday
Define okay
And fake my way.

Sometimes I think it feels
Each tiny breath of wind
Sometimes I think it knows from which direction
It will be blowing.

The wait for it
The weight of it
The taste of it
Erased by it.

We step and save
We build and cave
We tilt the frame
To win the game.

Yeah, I’m okay
Like everyday
Define okay
And fake my way.

Sometimes I think the luster may fall,
If we have too much
Sometimes it feels as though we’re at the top,
And our heads are swaying.

The wait for it
The weight of it
The taste of it
Erased by it.

The wait for it
The weight of it
The taste of it
Erased by it.

Sometimes the walls go up
Sometimes the house comes down
And now I hear your complicated heart
Beat inside my head

Laying down foundation
To hold a heavy load
Of the thoughts I can’t disclose…

Sometimes it’s Saturday
Sometimes I am blue
Sometimes I forget about the tender hearts
Weak like fractured glass.
Weak like fractured glass.
Weak like fractured glass.

Will the bottom fall out beneath it?
Will the bottom fall out beneath it?
