[Intro]
, , ,
[Verse]
We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lover s tryst
We re neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows
[Chorus] x2
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today s the day it gets tired
Cadd7
Today s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
[Verse 2]
(same as first)
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then it s you I can do without
There s nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
[Chorus] x2
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today s the day it gets tired
Today s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
[Bridge] x2
I lie for only you
Cadd7
And I lie well...
Hallelu...
[Chorus] x2
(words from bridge continued in the background)]
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today s the day it gets tired
Today s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
