Your words lingered on my lips like
Your breath when in the cold
You captured me in smoke tendrils and
Stories that you told
It's so unlike you to bring back
these memories of old
I thought to keep you safer
here to some fault of my own

You are the wind in tall grass
The lighting shift in hours passed
Some bones are meant to crack
Stuck in the shadows you cast
(In the shadows you cast)
Rough around the edges from cutting every corner thin
And so I became dull
to try and give you safer skin
I swore I wouldn't feel a thing
And I swear I never did
I let myself fall out
I know that there's a way back in
There always is
There always is

Quantity is quality when days are wearing thin
Nothing's ever up to me
I just keep breathing in
And if you'd save a spot for me
I'd tell you everything
Anything you want to be
But never what you think (yeah)

Quantity is quality when days are wearing thin
Nothing's ever up to me
I just keep breathing in
I just keep breathing in
