lyrics

Rollin’ the world in the sand and the sticks
You bring the whiskey and I’ll bring the tricks
Ladder in the yard brings you closer to the sun
One two three four cryin’ girl
Counting down her string of pearls
Beyond the glass, the world moves on

If you shatter, I’ll melt you back together
Melt you back together, melt you if you shatter
I’ll melt you back together, melt you back together

The cherry wood has glass in its veins
Frozen in place like a word on the page
Or a girl in a glass house who sits very still
Will she rise and spread her wings
Though they look like fragile things
She was built to break and made to mend

Sail into the fire (sail into the fire)
You were born to lose yourself
Let it bring you higher (let it bring you higher)
Do you hear the tower bells

If you shatter, I’ll melt you back together
Melt you back together, melt you if you shatter
I’ll melt you back together, melt you back together
Melt you if you shatter, I’ll melt you back together
Melt you back together
