LYRICS:

So quick to be wise
When my luck runs out, we improvise
Your heart’s on display
But I have nothing to say

Too fleeting to see
I prefer to paint it all from memory
Too restless to pose
So I begin with a ghost

The only gift I’ve left to give you
These promises may not outlive you
A little early to say

A little early to take down all the evidence
I’m no stranger to the sentiment wasted
Playing dead is no defense
No defense

Too little too late
We heard the world wake
I felt you tremble
After the earthquake
No one can tell you
Which way the bone breaks
Until it’s too late

Begin with my ghost
And bleed it ’til the curtains close
On all that awaits
I just stood there stammering at fate

Too little too late
We heard the world wake
I felt you tremble
After the earthquake
No one can tell you
Which way the bone breaks
Until it’s too late

The only gift I’ve left to give you
These promises may not outlive you
A little early to say
