about

This song was inspired by the book I Crawl Through It by A.S. King

lyrics

He carved a letter for everyday she was gone
An alphabet recounting our rights and our wrongs
But when he was alone the words never came easy
They slid and they hid but no one believed me

So we took to the skies, hoped we'd never be found
And all the ones back on earth said, "kids, you better come down!"
I was thrilled and in love but my words, they were greedy
They hemmed and they hawed - would you ever believe me?

You say you've got questions but we want the answers
And you say, "slow down," while we're screaming, "faster!"
If you think you're so smart then why don't you do it?
There's only one way out and I'll crawl through it

She cried every night and set it aside in a jar on the mantle,
A gift that she hides in a cavern built out of all of her fears
Well it swallowed her whole, she lost track of the years

And if you look real close you can see time stand still
A balancing act that it's chosen at will
But we can't be the crutch upon which it is leaning
Because when that clock stops then who will believe me?

There's only one way out
