lyrics

There's a tree growing out of a stone wall
reaching in between the cracks with its roots
it's been engineering its own fall
as it's reaching pries all the rocks loose

There's a bridge at the end of a stairway
with rows of broken stones along the top
on the side we can write what we daresay
and even if somebody calls the cops we'll never stop

I've seen your face
written out in sidewalk chalk
I've seen your sneakers and where you walk.
You step on the cracks in my smile
and I hope you're gonna stay a while
You step on the cracks in my crooked smile
and I don't know whether to stay or die

We hope to explode every cliche
it doesn't even seem that hard to do
and we're hoping that you'll scream whatever we say
so we might as well be screaming something true and we do

I've seen your face
written out in sidewalk chalk
I've seen your sneakers and where you've walked.
You step on the cracks in my smile
and all your tears turn crocodile
You step on the cracks in my crooked smile
and I don't care, whether you stay or die
You step on the cracks in my crooked smile
and I don't know, whether to stay or die.
