Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
the switch clicks dead and the room goes still, I recall.
a match flares and finds the candle's wick.
[Verse 1]
we build a fox from the shapes of our hands, quick and giddy.
moon spills silver through the gap in the blinds, a soft glow.
you tell the joke that breaks the held-up quiet, hush and grin.
the flame leans close like it wants to listen too, I recall.
[Pre-Chorus]
every joke we trade to beat the dark, holding me still.
the candle throws our giants on the wall, we won't fear, we won't fear.
[Chorus]
no light but we laughed.
shadow foxes dance across the pale wall, lighting the room.
the moon keeps score of how loud we became, chasing the night.
no light but we laughed.
[Verse 2]
the flashlight rolls beneath the sleepy couch, other evenings.
you roar the bad wolf voice that makes me jump, we curl in.
my elbow finds the exact snug spot of yours, snug as wool.
the warmth leans close like it wants to listen too, hush and grin.
[Chorus]
no light but we laughed.
silence foxes dance across the pale wall, lighting the room.
the moon keeps score of how loud we became, chasing the night.
no light but we laughed.
[Bridge]
Oh, we build a fox from the shapes of our hands, let it fade, let it fade.
moon spills silver through the gap in the blinds, I laugh now, I laugh now.
the warmth leans close like it wants to listen too — I am safe, I am safe.
[Chorus]
no light but we laughed.
silence foxes dance across the pale wall, lighting the room.
the moon keeps score of how loud we became, chasing the night.
no light but we laughed.
[Outro]
the switch clicks dead and the room goes still...
no light but we laughed.
[Fade Out]
[End]
