lyrics

Like An Earthquake


I gotta clean up, unpack the suitcase
Maybe take my heart off its shelf
Cause things that change our life come out of nowhere
And lead us to the wishing well


Like an earthquake
Or an honest mistake
Like a sky getting clear
What will it take
To mend this heartbreak
Change what you hold so dear


so do the laundry and drink the coffee
I’m thinking about you all the while
As oiled birds wash up, sticky with our mess
Add another bandaid yeah and hope for the best


Chorus


There’s a lot of things we gotta come clean about
There’s a lot of things we’re good at running from
There’s a lot of things we really should shout
There’s a lot of ways we come undone


Chorus


So maybe sit still
And take a deep breath
It might take some time
To figure out
