Call Our Own (6:30)

No these bricks they were not meant for us
These otherwise kind 2’s
Might have built a fire we could not escape together
Fate saw us smother in the ashes
Sister Delphi through the rain

No these sheets they were not meant for us
These otherwise blind blankets
Might have tossed us cross the lines true friends must tow
Trust tow together

No, I can’t see
Kiss him once for me
Duck around the corner of a brownstone
We were too afraid to call our own
But it’s okay
It’s alright now

Don’t you know we did the right thing
When right thing’s hard these monsters run
Back to the dock where they know they belong
Fate saw us panning through the ashes
Sister Delphi through the waves
Please tell me we did the right thing
The ropes i thought might save me
Could have fashioned past the lifeboat’s timely call
To call home forever
Sister Delphi through the waves

No I can’t see
Kiss him once for me
Duck around the corner of the brownstone
We were too afraid to call our own
But it’s okay
It’s alright now

Looking back on floorboards
Waxed through dancesteps
Tear-purpled photographs
I sit back
And rewrite every love song as if I were the only one
But to me you know I am
I am

No these bricks they were not meant for us

Song Notes

At the 5:01 mark, you can hear the sound of a pebble hitting the window of the second story bedroom William was recording in. The projectile in question was launched by Mark Murphy, who needed William (who had recently turned 21) to buy him beer, as Mark was still underage.
