Verse 1
Planks cool down as the midnight clears
Log drum humming in the floorboards here
You lean back on the weathered pine
Heel drops heavy on the quarter line
No sweet talk on a night like this
Weight moves slow where the shadows shift
Pre-Chorus
Up through your ankles, up through your knees
Under the wire, under the trees
Press down your palms, don't make a sound
Chorus
Feel the timber shaking in the ground
Heavy wood vibrating all around
One slow breath, we don't make a sound
Feel the timber shaking in the ground
Verse 2
Resin sticking to the flat of your shoe
Rough-cut cedar that the heat passed through
Your hand rests open right across my chest
Counting four beats while the others rest
Dust between the cracks begins to jump
Every board rattling on the log drum thump
Pre-Chorus
Up through your ankles, up through your knees
Under the wire, under the trees
Press down your palms, don't make a sound
Chorus
Feel the timber shaking in the ground
Heavy wood vibrating all around
One slow breath, we don't make a sound
Feel the timber shaking in the ground
Bridge
The beam holds steady though the rafters lean
Nothing spoken, nothing in between
Just the dark wood flexing to the floor
We don't need a room, we don't need a door
Chorus
Feel the timber shaking in the ground
Heavy wood vibrating all around
One slow breath, we don't make a sound
Feel the timber shaking in the ground
