Stay Warm - Tiny Moving Parts

Let the water freeze on the doorstep

Keep inside all the worries in your head

Stay warm like a sweater on an old man

How do you sleep at night?

I wonder, does the tension leave your bed?

I’ve asked myself this question once or twice

But I can’t comprehend

I just want to be remembered

As the staple that held the pages together

Is this too much to ask for?

I just want to be remembered

Like the weather in the winter

So brisk, so fresh, so strong

Never lose your focus

Your sense of direction

Is this too much to ask for?

I just want to be remembered

Like a flood in the spring

You will find beauty in the act of drowning

You’ll lose your focus

The notes, the purpose

Your sense of direction

You’ve lost your motive

I just want to be remembered

Like the weather in the winter

So brisk, so fresh, so strong

Never lose your focus

Your sense of direction

Is this too much to ask for?

(Tell me)

If these calloused hands

(Tell me)

Brushed the skin on your back

(Tell me)

Would it make you warm and content?

(Tell me)

Or would your spinal cord collapse?

(Tell me)

If these calloused hands

(If these calloused hands)

Brushed the skin on your back

(Tell me)

Would it make you warm and content?

(Would it make you warm?)

Or would your spinal cord collapse?

Would it collapse?

Let the wind chimes get the spotlight

They promise to sing us a lullaby

(If they ever)

If they ever know

We’re listening

They’ll shut our eyes

Let the water freeze on the doorstep

Keep inside all the worries in your head
