Lyrics Bow Breaks - The Weeks feat. The Watson Twins

Bleach hair, walk straight, talk like you're 'sposed to
Good things we miss, skip like a curfew
Don't stand so close, that boy will burn you
Dog-ear my pages so you see where I turn to
Hand out, neck up, shake like a pistol
Aimed high with closed eyes
And claim that the wind blew

How much more can we take before the bow breaks?
Prayin' my branches hold weight
Know we've made mistakes

Clinched fist, loose lips, spread for a secret
Stole things, gold rings, begged her to keep it
Look toward your throne, he said that's where the thief sits
Heard she had a bad side, wanna know where she keeps it
Stand up, big smile, let them come closer
Clean face, a good pace, he screams when it's over

How much more can we take before the bow breaks?
Prayin' my branches hold weight
Know we've made mistakes
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight

Big dreams, good-hearted, at least that's what some say
Bent back, rough hands, earned it the hard way
Push forth, sweet north, I choose the south way
Blue eyes and bad nights, she cries when the song plays
Prays for her father, he reminds her of Sundays
Face full of fire and her eyes big as ashtrays

How much more can we take before the bow breaks?
Prayin' my branches hold weight
Know we've made mistakes
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight

Stay close, pack light, watch where you're walkin'
Don't sell me short, I'll do the talkin'
Her plans, her life, I played a big part
Follow my steps, you can see where it all starts
Drunk words, nervous, slept in the hallway
Sang with the crickets and cried we were okay

How much more can we take before the bow breaks?
Prayin' my branches hold weight
Know we've made mistakes
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight
