Pull The Pin

[Verse 1]
I could quit the room mid-sentence
Let the frame come off the wall
Watch the careful little system
Lose its balance, lose it all
There’s a wildness in the wreckage
In the space after the sound
A fresh page with no instructions
And no old shape to answer to

[Pre-Chorus]
For a second, that feels like freedom
Like the air might hit brand new
Then I picture your face when you find out
And I can’t make myself do it to you

[Chorus]
I want to pull the pin and watch it scatter
Start from nothing, let the pieces fall
But I know who’d be standing in the damage
And I care too much to call it nothing at all

[Verse 2]
I could turn the good into a question
Say the sharp thing, cut the thread
There’s a thrill in not knowing what comes after
When the old life’s finally dead
But your hand would reach for my shoulder
You’d be trying to understand
So I swallow down the grand departure
And stay here where you can stand

[Bridge]
Maybe wanting isn’t doing
Maybe fire can stay a thought
I can feel the whole world tipping
Without tipping what we’ve got

[Final Chorus]
I want to pull the pin and watch it scatter
Start from nothing, let the pieces fall
But I know who’d be standing in the damage
And I care too much to call it nothing at all
I care too much to call it nothing at all

[Outro]
Let it settle
Let it stand
I’m still here
I’m still here
