Chest to chest while the timbers groan (Version 2) lyrics
Verse 1
Iron beam sweating in the salt air
Your damp sleeve brushing my hand
Green flash sweeping through the fog out there
Down here, nobody speaks to stand
Bare soles flat on the painted wood
Log drum hums in the steel beneath
We turn slow where we understood
Steady breath rolling past your teeth
Pre-Chorus
Feel the harbor sway
Feel the iron shake
Nothing left to say
Let the shoulders break
Chorus
Heavy bass down below the fjord signal
Chest to chest while the timbers groan
Heavy bass down below the fjord signal
No words when the pulse is known
Verse 2
Beacon flashes once through the hatch seam
Cuts white on the collar of your coat
We don't pull away from the warm steam
Deep tone humming in the chest and throat
Two steps side to side, let the frame lean
No clock running in the basement room
Cold foam crashing where we can't be seen
Pure heat rising from the wooden boom
Pre-Chorus
Feel the harbor sway
Feel the iron shake
Nothing left to say
Let the shoulders break
Chorus
Heavy bass down below the fjord signal
Chest to chest while the timbers groan
Heavy bass down below the fjord signal
No words when the pulse is known
Bridge
Out there, water and stone
In here, marrow and bone
Hold that tilt, let the rhythm lean
Only what is felt between
Chorus
Heavy bass down below the fjord signal
Chest to chest while the timbers groan
Heavy bass down below the fjord signal
No words when the pulse is known
From the catalog
