They built a world inside their heads
Said they could float just kabove their beds
No there's no curtains, no strings attached
You'll know never know if you have to ask
Slips through my fingers, let it fall
Soak up like rain
Trust he's the one with the fevered head
Said "say your prayers and go back to bed"
She stared at stars, tried to soak them up
Crept out my window, and she said "good luck"
Slips through my fingers, let her fall
And soak up like rain
Oh we could watch it all fade away, bigger parts of yesterday
State your claim on this place
I watched the buildings change, ground give way
Holding on to pipes and planes
Wake back up and be changed
Filled with resilience and haunted hands
He led his nightmares like marching bands
Haven't met a bad dream I'm scared of yet
Well I've never seen what's inside your head
Slips through my fingers, let her fall
And soak up like rain
Oh we could watch it all fade away, bigger parts of yesterday
State to claim on this place
I watched the buildings change, ground giveaway
Holding on pipes and planes
Wake back up and be changed
Bless your heart, bless your soul
Loosen grip, lose control
Kiss my hands, kiss my feet
More to us than bones and meat
Bless your heart, bless your soul
Loosen grip, lose control
Kiss my hands, kiss my feet
More to us than bones and meat
Slips through my fingers (Soak up like rain)
