Lyrics

We turn the light off to keep at bay
the overstated. The underplayed.

The complications of modest lives
break up the drive.

So get down and stay down
and take a minute to mourn the loss.
So get down and stay down.
This silence isn’t the only cost.

Wake up regretting every other word of every language
you’ll never learn.
The invitation to overstay
is days away.

So get down and stay down
And take a minute to mourn the loss.
So get down and stay down.
This silence isn’t the only cost.

Saltwater fills the house
and carries with it all the things
that I’ve been wrong about
but hoped will still work out.
