Steeples

[Verse 1]
With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart
The knife might me invisible but it's certainly sharp
I’ve been reading along
I'll burn the book

Bruises the color of brake lights on a rain soaked road
The peaks and valleys of your tongue make a voice that sounds like home
I've been singing along
I’ll take the lead

[Chorus]
With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart
Oh, don't pull it out, it's keeping me alive
With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart
(Oh, don't pull it out, it's keeping me alive)
Oh, don't pull it out, it's keeping me alive
(With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart)

[Verse 2]
Flowers bloom in September chrysanthemum fields along my arm
There's dirt under my fingernails and between my lips, a thorn
I’ve been digging a hole
I’ll plant a seed

Knuckles and fingertips, a touch that feels like air
In icy waters roses bloom but I wasn't really there
I’ve been here listening
I'll play his songs

[Chorus]
With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart
Oh, don't pull it out, it's keeping me alive
With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart
(Oh, don’t pull it out, it's keeping me alive)
Oh, don't pull it out, it's keeping me alive
(With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart)

[Verse 3]
With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart
The knife might me invisible but it's certainly sharp
I've been reading along
I'll burn the book

Bruises the color of brake lights on a rain soaked road
The peaks and valleys of your tongue make a voice that sounds like home
I've been singing along
I'll take the lead

[Chorus]
With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart
Oh, don't pull it out, it's keeping me alive
With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart
(Oh, don't pull it out, it's keeping me alive)
Oh, don't pull it out, it's keeping me alive
(With knotted fingers and a steeple through my heart)
