[Verse 1]
In a car outside, I idle light tonight
If you're leaving, just let me know
Tobacco and peppermint, dusting for fingerprints
A film in her eyes from the glow
Some rules are made with all intentions to break
And she defends it with a warped rationale
And I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud
When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown

[Chorus]
And we fold while we fade
Under a hot light and my body still aches
Waste the call wait to give
For a message while my body, it leaks like sieve

[Verse 2]
When it got cold outside, devised by candlelight
If you're coming home, just let me know
Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with pins
A film in her eyes from the glow
Concrete and water, she's looking for her daughter
At midnight in torrential downpour
And everything I said about how messed up your head is
Got cut up and left in little pieces on the cutting room floor
[Chorus]
And we fold while we fade
Under a hot light and my body still aches
Waste the call, wait to give
For a message while my body, it leaks like sieve
And we fold while we fade
Under a hot light and my body still aches
Waste the call, wait to give
For a message while my body, it leaks like sieve

[Bridge]
And we fold while we fade
Take the picture from the wall 'cause you think that nothing matters
Under a hot light and my body still aches
Take the picture from the frame, it's a long ways to the floor
Waste the call, wait to give
Cut your finger on the edge, 'cause it's sharper than they told you
For a message while my body, it leaks like sieve
Take a leap from out the window 'cause it's way too far to go through the door

[Outro]
And we fold while we fade
Take the picture from the wall 'cause you think that nothing matters
Under a hot light and my body still aches
Take the picture from the frame, it's a long ways to the floor
Waste the call, wait to give
Cut your finger on the edge, 'cause it's sharper than they told you
For a message while my body, it leaks like sieve
Take a leap from out the window 'cause it's way too far to go through the door
