Crooked Low

Verse 1

Slip past the gate

Midnight keeps my secret safe

I trace the latch

Nobody saw nobody knows

A door unlatched by a liar's thumb

Pre-Chorus

Hold the dark close

Hold it tighter than skin

Hold the dark close

Chorus

Low slow and crooked

Low slow and wrong

Low slow and crooked

We hum along

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Verse 2

Two shadows twist

One lamp burns for both of us

Your hand on the rail

A slow crawl up the banister

Every stair creaks like a warning bell

Pre-Chorus

Keep the dark close

Keep it closer than breath

Keep the dark close

Chorus

Low slow and crooked

Low slow and wrong

Low slow and crooked

We hum along

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Bridge

Nobody calls

Nobody comes

Nobody knocks

Nobody runs

Chorus

Low slow and crooked

Low slow and wrong

Low slow and crooked

We hum along

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm
