East Bank

Oh, the sky's a little closer but
I know, I'm learning empty spaces when you're gone
Cryptic, I could hear my blood so quiet
Every cut undone - stranded in my apartment

Oh, I'm so far from me when I'm caught in your hold
I need to unlearn how to breathe you with all I've ever
Known, for a moment I'll be safe-scared out of my brain
I'd be living in your laughter, til I'm clear out again

I could set the sky on fire
Half asleep on fifth street
You wouldn't even see
Does it hit you like a hard rain?
Heavy from the east bank
I swear, I swear I couldn't feel a thing

Oh, no more crying on the M train, I seen it unfold
All my pieces resting bound to be exposed
A lifeline I'd be too damn scared to hold
Hands blue, so tired - held on til they couldn't

But
I could set the sky on fire
Half asleep on fifth street
You wouldn't even see
Does it hit you like a hard rain
Heavy from the east bank
I swear, I swear I couldn't feel a thing

Ahh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh

I could set the sky on fire
Half asleep on fifth street
You wouldn't even see
Does it hit you like a hard rain?
I could set the sky on fire
Reruns of the same old honesty
Half a world without you in it
I swear I wouldn't change a thing
