Jagged Bloom

Your coat on the chair like a question

Cold tea, blue room,

no reply

I count every move in the kitchen

You look past me,

calm and dry (ahhhh)

Something in the air keeps tightening

Every little word turns glass

I can feel the floor start rising

Still we let the moment pass

We stay cool while the room bends open

High hearts under polished stone

If love comes dressed like motion

Don't let me stand here alone

(ooh, ooh)

You laugh with the edge of a razor

Soft face, hard line,

no flame

I trace all the space between us

And find my name changed (yeah)

No grand confession

No door slammed wide

Just your hand near mine

And the room taking sides

(ahhhh) We stay cool while the room bends open

High hearts under polished stone

If love comes dressed like motion

Don't let me stand here alone

(ooh, ooh, yeah)

Hold still,

hold still

Let the last note go (ooh)
