Remember when we made a bed
From ratty blankets in that unfinished shed in my backyard
Before the fall had really fell
Remember how we watched the stars up through the naked rungs
And we let the summer wind just fill our waking lungs
And I've never been so wide awake
And I have never breathed so well
But whisper, whisper
'Cause someone else is sleeping
Now listen, listen
'Cause while we're wildly keeping calm
Our silhouetted hearts are beating heavy, hard
And then we're gone
But I won't tell anyone
We midnight danced out in the street
No music, all the sound was rhythm scraping feet
And laughing sighs
And there were never any cars
Then it was cold and so we ran down empty rooms and halls
And see how the echos ring
And shadowed corners boom and call
And invite affection in the dark
'Cause after all, the night is ours
But tiptoe, tiptoe,
'Cause someone might be listening
But don't go, don't go
I feel your body twisting in fear
As all the world is loud, resisting heavy, hard
But I'm right here
And I'm not going anywhere
The moon is bright and it's alright if you go home tonight
The tide is something you can't fight when weary, unsteady
The room was cold when whispers told you how you would unfold
But unravel all you need 'cause I will hold you until you're ready.
Remember when we made a bed
Could we now make a life instead?
Shh... you can answer in a whisper
