Philadelphia Fault

[Verse 1]
(A cappella)
You're tracing the chip in my front tooth again
It's from a Pepsi bottle, Elkins, summer of 2010
(Beat enters)
Your thumb on my lip, the drywall is glowing
From some headlight outside, no idea where it's going

[Chorus]
It's 3:47, you're not supposed to say that
"Say what?" "That I'm your bedrock."
Forget I said it, just the hour talking back

[Verse 2]
You say this city's built on brick and honest grit
I hear the freight train on the Schuylkill and I picture it
Eroding the banks, a slow-motion sinkhole, you know?
"No. But your hand's cold."

[Chorus]
It's 3:47, you're not supposed to say that
"Say what?" "That I'm your bedrock."
Forget I said it, just the hour talking back

[Bridge]
I want to tell you how the pressure makes the stone
But all I do is pull the sheet up, check my phone
The screen is so bright in the dark
It leaves a blue ghost on the wall, a temporary mark

[Chorus]
It's 3:48, and I can't take it back
I meant it, "you're my bedrock"
Forget I said it, cover up the crack

[Outro]
Forget I said it
3:48 now
