[Verse 1]
       
Caro line, Car

truggle
          
Hold the line,

In   time, in

Everyone does

 Violet plays
            
Going back hom

Riding that tr

[Verse 3]
           
And the cluste

             
rs fell, like 

      
an empty bell
            
Meteor shower 

        
at the motel
           
Where the empt

             
y space is a s

    
aving grace
            
Making good ti

        
me and doing w

ell
           
Still the ques

             
tion sings, li

         
ke Saturn's ri

ngs
            
Maybe she know

But you don't

hy when you cr

y
           
You don't need

You don't need

             
 to know why w

        
hen you cry

[Verse 4]
           
And I find you

With your wrin

            
kled hands and
