lyrics

[verse]
pour me a cup, you're not alone
your somber words feel like home
a long road when you're sick of the cold

escape to your river each night
mountains hide what you need to fight
earth moves through the room

[chorus]
take a break until your heart stops
don’t tell me we’re turning this off

arson and petty crimes
tell yourself that it was lost time

take a break until your heart stops
don’t tell me we’re turning this off

two houses sharing clocks
table tops and boardwalks

[verse]
their muscles work off restless love
she’s falling fast but he’s already done
and we're loosing that touch you said was a crutch

burnt out and left for dust
he moves her back but she’s already done
can’t live with it, settle those nerves we’ve been sleeping with

[chorus]
[da da’s]
take a break until your heart stops
don’t tell me we’re turning this off

arson and petty crimes
tell yourself that it was lost time

take a break until your heart stops
don’t tell me we’re turning this off

two houses sharing clocks
table tops and boardwalks

[bridge]
watch the sweat stick to his skin,
damn it's clear we both can't win

a light rain, as he hits the brakes,
prays to god, his soul to take

someone set the animal free,
breathe like your home is here with me

we were blind

[chorus x2]
don’t tell me we’re turning this off

arson and petty crimes
tell yourself that it was lost time

take a break until your heart stops
don’t tell me we’re turning this off

two houses sharing clocks
table tops and boardwalks

[group vocals]
we were blind
glasses on the chair

muted eyes
take till your not there
