Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
the toy truck flips on the cracked tile floor, I still hear.
a shout shrinks into a trembling lip.
[Verse 1]
we wrestle the blanket into a tribal fort, loud and clumsy.
you grab the wheel I swore was only mine, a quick sting.
the closet door becomes our secret country, pause and hear.
the floorboard creaks under our thudding war, I still hear.
[Pre-Chorus]
every quarrel ends the same bright way, gathering us in.
the silence after breaks into a chuckle, we won't stay, we won't stay.
[Chorus]
siblings fight then hug.
the pillow fort keeps the world safely out, mending the seam.
your scraped knee finds the bandage of my arm, calming the tide.
siblings fight then hug.
[Verse 2]
the trolley rolls to a country we invent, other afternoons.
you lend the cap that always slips on me, we press close.
my laugh spills into the exact shape of yours, bright as noon.
the floorboard creaks under our thudding war, pause and hear.
[Chorus]
siblings fight then hug.
the pillow fort keeps the world safely out, mending the seam.
your scraped knee finds the bandage of my arm, calming the tide.
siblings fight then hug.
[Bridge]
Oh, we wrestle the blanket into a tribal fort, let it mend, let it mend.
you grab the wheel I swore was only mine, I hold now, I hold now.
the floorboard creaks under our thudding war — I am loved, I am loved.
[Chorus]
siblings fight then hug.
the pillow fort keeps the world safely out, mending the seam.
your scraped knee finds the bandage of my arm, calming the tide.
siblings fight then hug.
[Outro]
the toy truck flips on the cracked tile floor...
siblings fight then hug.
[Fade Out]
[End]
