We can make it alright.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a tally on the plaster by the door Every line a little less than what we swore You press your thumb across the numbers, smudge the ink I don't ask you what you're thinking, I don't blink The kettle's shaking on the burner, ticking slow Says a lot of things I'd rather not know [Chorus] We can make it all right We can make it all right Like water through stone Like water through stone We can make it all right Before the final call No one marks the wall When we're counting it alone [Verse 2] The landlord's letter's folded in the drawer Underneath the takeout menus and the chores You said the phone stopped ringing, that's a lie But I let it stand between the floorboards and the sky We don't talk about the ledger or the leak We just pass the salt and let the quiet speak [Chorus] We can make it all right We can make it all right Like water through stone Like water through stone We can make it all right Before the final call No one marks the wall When we're counting it alone [Bridge] And if the reckoning comes due I'll be standing in the kitchen next to you With the lights off and the clock unplugged Two sets of hands and one long shrug [Chorus] We can make it all right We can make it all right Like water through stone Like water through stone We can make it all right Whether anyone's to know We can make it right Through the debt that no one knows We can make it all right We can make it all right Before the final call Through the chalk marks on the wall
