lyrics

You were a second away from calling
More falling apart
Rest of the world tapping at the window to be let in
But do we keep it shut out?

I don’t wanna change
But you’re forcing my hand now
The moment never stays
But you’re forcing my hand now

A single second in a day
Handful of water
Holding your breath in outer space
Words are like thunder
I can’t hear what you’re trying to say
Handful of water
Holding your breath in outer space

I check the number, dial it in, but always shut it down
Not enough coins in the world
Can’t buy the time or find the words for you to hear me out
Do I put it on hold?

I don’t wanna change
But you’re forcing my hand now
The moment never stays
But you’re forcing my hand now

A single second in a day
Handful of water
Holding your breath in outer space
Words are like thunder
I can’t hear what you’re trying to say
Handful of water
Holding your breath in outer space

Call it off until you’re alright
Blinded by the darkness of that one night
As it pins you down
Tell me how you’ve been let down

In the gap between our heartbeats
Scribbled on the pavement of our old street
Our names are fading out
So glad to hear you made it out

A single second in a day
Handful of water
Holding your breath in outer space
Words are like thunder
I can’t hear what you’re trying to say
Handful of water
Holding your breath in outer space
