Intro

    

Verse 1

You follow the footsteps
Echoes leading down a hall
To a room, there's music playing
Tiny bells with moving parts
Here the shadows make things ugly
An effect quite undesirable 
And the bold and yellow daylight
Grows like ivy across the wall

Chorus

And it bounces off of the painted porcelain
A tiny dancing doll
Her body spins as she pirouettes
Again the world suddenly seems small

Interlude

(F#) F#m E A

Verse 2

On an off-white, subtle morning
You stretch your legs in the front seat
And the road has made a vacuum
Where our voices used to be
And you lay your head onto my shoulder
Pour like water over me

Chorus

So if I just exist for the next ten minutes
of this drive that would be fine
And all these trees that line this curb
would be rejoicing and alive

Interlude

(F#) F#m E A

Chorus

Soon all the joy that pours from everything
makes fountains of your eyes
Because you finally understand
the movement of a hand waving good-bye

Outro

(F#) F#m E A
