lyrics

When we found that baby crow
You built him up a home
From a shoebox we had kept
Calmed his tiny quivering beak
As his heartbeat became weak
And I held him and I wept
So when he slipped away
He slipped away softly
In my hands

Board the plane at half past five
And I'm focused on my snacks
Take my window seat and peer out through the glass
Now I'm on my way to you
Towards the eastern moon
And the sun is sinking fast
So when it slips away
It slips away softly
And it's dark at last

Slip away softly
Slip away swiftly
It's clear to me how gently things can die
If you hold them just right
If you hold them just right

You mistakes and earnestly-told lies
They keep me up at night
So I text you all the time
I'm sure your limbs are all intact
I'm sure you're doing fine
But I'm scared I'm terrified
Of how you might slip away
With no one to hold you
Right
