In every story, every secret told 

You are not the first to wake up 

To learn your lines before you have the part 

You woke up early and you woke up torn 

You're the temporary border 

The heatwave humming in the house of cards 



You spun chapter into rapture there 

Yeah, you were as brave as traffic 

You chased the spotlight into her arms 

And you forgot that you could fight 

But not that you were still the person sleeping 

The heatwave humming in the house of cards 



A play for the girl, a cross for a hook, sinking into the greasy wonder 

Under the sea, walking the floor, over the waves that we lived under 

Something's unguided in the sky tonight 

There is something unguided in the sky 



You wrote yourself into a corner safe 

Easy to defend your borders 

A fallen saint into a whispered time 

Killing time because they have to, why? 

Because it isn't mine, remember? 

Killing time because it wasn't mine 



You're earning your stripes, you're counting your stars 

You're (?) you barely work and wash 

You're lucky to be on the line like you are 

You're lucky you've already been caught 



Something's unguided in the sky tonight 

There is something unguided in the sky 



And why wait for the weakened state 

To lie next to the weaker sex? 

And why wait for the weakened state 

To lie next to the weaker sex? 



You're earning your stripes, you're counting your stars 

You're (?) you barely work and wash 

You're lucky to be on the line like you are 

You're lucky you've already been caught 



Something's unguided in the sky tonight 

There is something unguided in the sky
