There's a certain point the body can't come back from
In one year, we've learned the turn off the mouth
The depth that the chest cavity takes
Chucky was there for three out of three
I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
There for the one who was closest to me

But I can't say I run when things get hard
It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
But I've had to let it break a little more
'Cause they say that's what it's for

That's how the light shines in
That's how the light shines in
That's how the light gets in
Mm-mhm

So everyone was there, they were standin' and laughin'
And I'm on the side with my tears streamin' down
There's somethin' about the clutch of the wrist
He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth
We've only got hours

And I just can't stop cryin' 'cause all of the ways
When you see someone dyin'
You see all your days flash in front of you
And you think about who would be with you
And then there's Donoghue
Mhm-mmm

Daddy, I miss them
I'm in the mountains
I'm probably runnin' away from the feelin's I get
When I think all the things about them

Daddy, I miss them
I'm at the Roadrunner Café
I'm probably runnin' away from the thoughts in the day
I'd have thin's to do with them, but they say

"That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in"

Think by the third of March, I was cracked open
Finally, the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me
There's a name for it in Japanese, it's "kintsugi"

They sang folk songs from the '40s
Even the 14-year-old knew "Froggie Came A-Courtin'"
How do my blood relatives know all of these songs?
I don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing

That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in

But, daddy, I miss them
I'm at the Roadrunner Café
Probably runnin' away from the feelin's today
In the snow-capped mountains of the desert

Daddy, I miss them
I'm in the mountains
Probably runnin' away, I've been meanin' to say
That there's nothin' to do, except know that this is

How the light gets in
Like crackin', the light gets in
It's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in

Then you're golden
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Just another folk song, but anyway
I try so hard, but that's okay

It's how the light gets in
It's how the light gets in
It's how the light gets in
