Verse 3

Shadows patrolling nightfall

and you seem to fumble

so higher onto the list

Every little flicker of the screen

keeps a count of what you missed

Curtains breathing slow

like something sleeping in the wall

I keep one eye on the doorway

and one eye on the fall

──────────────

Pre-Chorus

Tick-tick-ticking of the tape rewinding slow

(Fragile, fragile)

Somebody's humming in a frequency so low

(Hold still, hold still)

──────────────

Chorus

List me, list me...

write me down in ink that never dries

List me, list me...

I'm the one who watches while it dies

Dim the room, dim the room,

let the picture start to crawl

List me, list me...

I'm the softest thing you'll ever call

──────────────

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

~ (La-la, la-la) ~

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

Bridge

You were never looking

where the lens was pointed

You were never listening

when the tape distorted

Fumble, fumble,

catch it if you can

Fumble, fumble,

I already ran

──────────────

Outro

Higher, higher onto...

──────────────

Little sparks are marching

single file across the screen

Someone left the window open

where the quiet used to lean

I count the names in cursive

while the clock forgets its hands

And every hour folds into the next

like paper fans

──────────────

Slow-slow-slowing

like a tape that's lost its spool

(Stay close, stay close)

Something's humming lullabies

beneath the swimming pool ..
