Tigers

The piano makes the sound you play so quietly
These love notes, letter bombs
You send them back to me
Doors and windows break
But not this melody
These not so subtle signs
This house can’t make us stay
Didn’t I warn you, didn’t you want to
Make me feel this way
Didn’t I warn you
You know I’ve loved you from the start
But this house can’t make you stay
Sometimes these things just fall apart
We might never be the same
Maybe I can never be everything you’ll ever need
But I can put my arms around you
If we tear this down, line up every stone
Will memory disconnect us
From all that came before
Cause sometimes our own hearts
Rewrite these histories
To keep themselves from breaking
Is that all we need
Didn’t you warn me
Didn’t I want to
Make you feel the same
Didn’t you want me
You know I’ve loved you from the start
But this house can’t make you stay
Sometimes these things just fall apart
Could we ever be the same
Maybe I can never be everything you’ll ever need
But I could put my arms around you
Something here’s still beautiful
Something only we know
Nothing’s lost if we can find it in time
Find it in time
Call up the general
Call in the major
We need you now
Weren’t there warnings
From headquarters, oh no
Call up your mother
Call in the tigers
You know I’ve loved you from the start
No this house can’t make us stay
But sometimes these things just fall apart
This will never be the same
Maybe I can never be everything you’ll ever need
But I can wrap my arms around you
Maybe you can never be everything I’ll ever need
But could you put your arms around me
You know I’ve loved you from the start
But sometimes these things just fall apart
