Lyrics
The .wav file's from last November, Lena.
On that old Tascam recorder you keep.
It's quarter-to-three and the air's getting meaner,
I just needed to hear you talk in your sleep.
[Chorus]
Your voice is the joist and the beam,
Holding the ceiling up over me.
Every measured sigh, every quiet plea
Is the only blueprint I ever need.
[Verse 2]
I hear you mumble 'bout shear stress and settling dirt,

Holding the ceiling up over me.
Every measured sigh, every quiet plea
Is the only blueprint I ever need.

And if I leave this coast, does the structure hold true?
[Outro]
The joist and the beam...
The hiss of the rain.
