Window lyrics by The Weather Station
My heart is racing
As a window opens somewhere to let me out
My heart is racing
As a window opens somewhere to let me out
My heart is racing
As a window opens somewhere to let me out
To let me out
Streaming down the windowpane
Some cold metaphorical, literal rain
I’m in physical pain
Visceral shame breaks for a second
And I can see out again
Outside the street just looks like a painting
What am I doing, standing dizzy on my own landing?
A change of clothes hastily packed
And the key to some apartment cold in my hand
And I know
My heart is racing
As a window opens somewhere to let me out
My heart is racing
As a window opens somewhere to let me out
My heart is racing
As a window opens somewhere to let me out
To let me out
To somewhere I already was
Softly there in the margins of this so-called love
I touch the edge of it
Just a glimpse of it
My own life, I guess
Streaming wild like a ribbon in the wind
Unruly, static, this noise within
This must-do, can’t-say kind of feeling
I can’t explain right now
Just that I’m leaving this time
My heart is racing
As a window opens somewhere to let me out
My heart is racing
As a window
Window window window
Window window window
Window window…
