Verse

[Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge]

Weight of days lost holding you down

You'll look for me, but I won't be found.

The bluebirds flutter in my chest,

 Oh, they want to sing..

You'll have to break me open to hear anything

Before the world dies at my door

 I'll break the sky, for you and I are going nowhere.

Kiss goodbye, a dozen times before we get there.

Why do I need anyone else, when I can break the sky myself?

Won't be haunted by dreams I've deferred

Won't set my heart frozen in amber

The love you always seem to find is syrupy sweet

One taste and you've made up your mind,

Too ripe to eat.

Before the world dies at my door...

 I'll break the sky, for you and I are going nowhere.

Kiss goodbye, a dozen times before we get there.

Why do I need anyone else, when I can break the sky myself?

Fear will hold you back,

If you believe in that.

[x4]

 I'll break the sky, for you and I are going nowhere.

Kiss goodbye, a dozen times before we get there.

Why do I need anyone else?

Why do I need anyone..

 I'll break the sky, for you and I are going nowhere.

Kiss goodbye, a dozen times before we get there.

Why do I need anyone else

 when I can break the sky myself? (One strum)
