Lyrics:

after the earthquake

pictures hanging diagonally

drive-thru crying in a milkshake

it wasn't built to last

up in the front seat

you were playing with the station

and i was fidgeting with the heat

looking back to the vibrant days of racket in the hall

caution to the breeze

say you'll climb your way out

of your wake now

velvet curtain drawn

flowers at your feet

say you'll contemplate how

you're weighed down

the pulse of the brake light

is the colour of burning embers

if you wake up will you remember

the awful things i said at the edge of the bed?

thrashing like a great white

(i feel the northern tide crashing on the pines)

as they rolled you up on a stretcher

and the faint words of jessica fletcher

were drowned out by the sound

of racket in the hall

caution to the breeze

say you'll climb your way out

of your wake now

those days i'd never let you fall apart

but things fade like the scent of a brand new car

why would i ever fall in love again

when every detail is over the guardrail?

say you'll climb your way out

of your wake now

say you'll contemplate how

you're weighed down

are you awake now?
