[Verse 1]
Seven days you had to let me know
And several different ways to let me go
But you did not let that show
And we suffocated slowly
[Chorus]
Second takes and big mistakes
The things that hold us back
Cause if the smallest rock
Can throw a freight train
Flying off the track
I don't even know how
We'll begin to fix this mess
Maybe in the end
It winds up fixing us instead
But that won't change
Anything
That won't change
Anything
[Verse 2]
I swear I saw your footprints in the snow
Straight up from the driveway to the porch
But I never will be sure
Cause I did not hear the door
Oh
[Chorus]
Second takes and big mistakes
The things that hold us back
Cause if the smallest rock
Can throw the freight train
Flying off the track
I don't even know how
We'll begin to fix this mess
Maybe in the end
It winds up fixing us instead
That won't change
Anything
That won't change
Anything
[Verse 3]
It's one thing to concern yourself
With someone else's breathing
Another thing entirely
To know their heart is beating
[Chorus]
Second takes and big mistakes
The things that hold us back
It's like the smallest rock
Can throw a freight train
Flying off the track
I don't even know how
We'll begin to fix this mess
Maybe in the end
It winds up fixing us instead
That won't change
Anything
That won't change
Anything
