Terraza

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The panel's stuck on seven, and the bell just rang and died You sniff the crack beneath the door, then settle by my side I've pressed the L, I've pressed the star, I've pressed them all twice through You've watched me talk into the grate like it could answer you [Verse 2] I've got a mason jar of quarters, dimes, and nickels from the couch Eleven years of parking meters, vending machines, and now It's rolling on the carpet as the floor lights blink and stall You put your chin down on my shoe, and you have heard it all [Chorus] We're not going anywhere, and maybe that's alright I'll sit here on this gritty floor and hold your collar tight The world can keep its closing doors, its buttons, and its calls We've got a jar of loose change, and a dog who's heard it all A dog who's heard it all [Verse 3] I told you 'bout the interview, the rent, the thing I said To someone I won't name tonight inside my aching head You thumped your tail at all the parts where I forgot to breathe You never once asked me to change, or fix it, or to leave [Chorus] We're not going anywhere, and maybe that's alright I'll sit here on this gritty floor and hold your collar tight The world can keep its closing doors, its buttons, and its calls We've got a jar of loose change, and a dog who's heard it all A dog who's heard it all [Bridge] The quarters catch the ceiling light like thirty little moons Enough for one more coffee, not enough to leave this soon And somewhere in the walls, a cable's finding its way home So hold on, old friend, they're coming, we are not alone [Chorus] We're not going anywhere, and maybe that's alright I'll sit here on this gritty floor and hold your collar tight The world can keep its closing doors, its buttons, and its calls We've got a jar of loose change, and a dog who's heard it all [Outro] The floor lights start to flicker, and you lift your heavy head The doors will open up, and we'll go find your bowl and bed A jar of loose change, and a dog who's heard it all A dog who's heard it all
