Soft Close Lyrics

The night is getting cold now

The wind is getting mean

You got the window rolled down

You got cuffs in your jeans

You wanna be an indie kid

Well you gotta look clean

I'm waiting for the one I know

In the passenger seat

The snow weighs all the bows down

Car door's frosted shut

We hang up lights at your dad's house

I empty my cup

Everything I know I learned from you

How to make friends and alphabet soup

Were you ever afraid

Of being unmade

By a look or a laugh or the unclicking of a car door?

Did you think you deserve more?

The weatherman's emphatic

Stay inside get indoors

Basic cable to static

I'll get the scrabble board

In the long hall

I pull aside your dad

He hugs me and says yes

I don't even have to ask

Goodnight stars goodnight air goodnight noises everywhere

Goodnight mountains meet the sea goodnight all the things that we wanna be

Goodnight silent shivering trees goodnight curtains red and green

Goodnight stars goodnight air goodnight noises everywhere

Goodnight fictions on the shelf goodnight those things I can't help

Good moon rising over the dunes goodnight darling see you soon

Goodnight stars goodnight air goodnight noises everywhere

Goodnight me goodnight you goodnight all the work that we gotta do
