Not a word over the boards
That keep us afloat, sparrows at play
I sense this just might be right
In the silent embrace of night
We slide, deny, won't put up a fight
I was wrong , I acted strong
And this playground full of our breaths
I sense I built our house too high
Too high to catch with our eyes
We reach as it flies away
So I'll hold you for a couple of beats
Cross my fingers with yours
And with the first flicker of wings
And the chirping and smiling, postponing, denying
This is our house in the trees
This is our house in the trees
On the playground where we were free
This is our house in the trees
This is our house in the trees
On the playground where we were free
Keep my words to myself
My lips are sealed, they won't come apart
I sense with the silence we have
For everyone else we managed to quiet even ouselves
And it will slip away
Don't look back through the cracks
The walls won't come down
I feel as if in the wrong
We tried to make our right
We reached through but it was too bright
So I'll hold you for a couple of beats
Cross my fingers with yours
And with the first flicker of wings
And the chirping and smiling, postponing, denying
This is our house in the trees
This is our house in the trees
On the playground where we were free
This is our house in the trees
This is our house in the trees
On the playground where we were free
