geiger counter

you were shaking like a leaf

clinging hard to a sleepy branch

and holding on for your dear life

well if you fall

then you'll fall in

and you'll spiral randomly

no way to know where you're gonna land

and all the plans that you have made

they are a million miles away

waiting for you to come home

and there's no breeze i've ever felt

no blow that i've been dealt

that could carry us back again

but you can't stay here

any more than i can

any more than a hot minute or a heavy second or a half-life

the cracked static of a geiger counter

you remind me of a place

the kind of world beneath your feet

that disappears when you go there

then you're trapped under the street

drinking light through a sewer grate

like you were born on a leap year

but you can't stay here

any more than i can

any more than a hot minute or a heavy second or a half-life

the cracked static of a geiger counter

it's getting louder and louder

but you can't stay here

any more than i can

any more than a hot minute or a heavy second or a half-life

the cracked static of a geiger counter

when you wilt i will love you

and we will mix when you crumble

we'll disintegrate and blow away
