Verse 1:

Sit down in the corner where the light doesn't reach

I’ve got a story that no one can teach

I’ll tell you about the night I let go

If you tell me the things that you don't want to know.

Verse 2:

A memory for a memory, a scar for a scar

We’re counting the miles and we’re counting the far

I’ll give you my silence if you give me yours

As we open up all of these heavy iron doors.

Chorus:

We’re trading secrets like they’re pieces of glass

Watching the shadows of the centuries pass

It’s the highest of prices, the deepest of costs

Finding the pieces of the things that we lost.

Verse 3:

I’ll give you the name of the girl from the spring

The one who I promised a diamond and ring

You give me the reason you can't stay in one place

And the fear that I see on the lines of your face.

Bridge:

This isn't for profit, this isn't for gain

It’s just how we weather the wind and the rain

To be truly known is a terrifying trade

But it’s the only way that a friendship is made.

Verse 4:

Now the bottle is empty and the sun’s coming up

We’ve drained all the truth from the bottom of the cup

I’m lighter than air now the secrets are free

Thank you for bartering your spirit with me.

Chorus:

We’re trading secrets like they’re pieces of glass

Watching the shadows of the centuries pass

It’s the highest of prices, the deepest of costs

Finding the pieces of the things that we lost.
