[Verse 1]
Youngest parts of mine
In Maryland
Stuck in time, they
Needed you much more

(You work hard)

That pretty house
Papers in a line
My mother incorrect
Waiting in her eyes, I
Know how closeness goes
(We)

[Pre-Chorus]
Build it up
Build it up
Build it up
Just to break it down
Down, down
Break it down

Build it up
What’s the high
What is love
Without the comedown?
[Chorus]
Overture to nothing
More
No more dances

But when I open more to you
(More to you)
Then all I do
(All I do)
Is pledge my heart to doubts
To more to live without

[Verse 2]
(Looming, I hear-)
You know I have her eyes?
They’re relived parts
You don’t like

(Is this why you don’t care to know me?)

Now
She’s in your bed
The one you shared
(911)
Make your call
Had enough?
Then wreck it all
(And sometimes I think you wanted me to watch)
(And I watched and watched and watched)

[Pre-Chorus]
Build it up
Holstered guns
Here they come
Just to break it down
Down, down
You love how they break it down
(Don’t you?)

Build it up
What’s the high
What is love
Without the comedown?

(Love’s a promise arrived)
(Like ash to phoenix flight)

[Chorus]
Overture to nothing
(Never)more
No more dances
(I've tried)
When I open more to you
All I do
Is pledge my heart to doubts
To more to live without

[Bridge]

(See? I see it from afar)
(See? I see it from afar)
(See? I see it from afar)
(See? I see it from afar)

So filled up with the former
Growing up, I got to know this
I’d let go but I’m still on all
His treachery in the morning
Cops came in just like a storm
(Just like ashes as we’d flown)
And that’s how closeness goes
Just how closeness-

[Chorus]
Overture to...
Nothing nevermore
Let’s stop dancing

When I open more to you
All I do
(All I do)
Is pledge my (my)
(Heart) to doubts
