House shifts into place, a little breathing space
The radiators and the floorboards will argue while we sleep
There's water in the walls, the stairs make waterfalls
Down in the basement the soft sound of a river digging deep

So much to say, I forget to start
There goes a day, fading as it passes
Forget the grey, let it fall apart

So much to say, I forget to start
There goes a day, fading as it passes
Forget the grey, let it fall apart
It's okay
