So I said it loud
And the antennas in your ears picked it up
The radio station in your head processed it all
Then you said one louder
A catch of breath
Cause what I had ran out on me
There was a note in my chest that said
I'm not coming home
The room was full but not with flesh and blood
It was enough to lift the house
And the things in the basement finally knew
What it was like to be outside
They were doctors
They were poets
(We were)
We were alive
We were, well we used to be
We used to be
They used to be mothers and they used to be fathers
They used to be husbands and wives
But tonight they're just people breathing in tones
Breathing in tones
