lyrics
Sleep with the lights on
Shuttered with shades drawn
There's too many windows
Noise -- cars on the freeway
Tempting a clean break
But there's nowhere left to go
Watching the roots weave
Through cracks in the concrete
Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Home is a fire
A burning reminder
Of where we belong, love
With walls built up around us
The bricks make me nervous
They're only so strong, love
Yes they're only so strong love
Plates, they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
As yesterday
Shuttered with shades drawn
There's too many windows
Noise -- cars on the freeway
Tempting a clean break
But there's nowhere left to go
Watching the roots weave
Through cracks in the concrete
Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Home is a fire
A burning reminder
Of where we belong, love
With walls built up around us
The bricks make me nervous
They're only so strong, love
Yes they're only so strong love
Plates, they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
As yesterday

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect. I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3
