Lyrics
The quarter I found in the U.S. Steel lot was still warm in my hand.
A Tuesday in November, '09, your mom picked us up in the silver land-yacht.

Your house was a blueprint, a different equation.
Our love was load-bearing, holding up the ceiling.
But God, the silence in your kitchen was a holy feeling.
[Bridge]

And it wasn't jealousy, not really. More like… anthropology.
Just watching the physics of a life with no gravity.
[Outro]
Good bones.
Good bones.
