If I keep seeing your face

When you’re counting them high

Would you look at your life?

Would you look at your life?

I built up barricades to block my heart

I can’t punctuate

These boneless days

Sinking into my skin

I’m under your gravity
Em7
Frozen mathematically
Em7
And I lay awake with my eyes closed

Verse:
D                Em7
But who can really move

When you’re counting them high

On your long summer drives
Em7
For mercy’s sake,
Em7
for mercy’s sake,
Em7         C
for mercy’s sake
Em7
I thought I’d ride all the same roads and skies
