I've got this feeling a mile wide
I look at it a little
Each side
A portal for to climb inside
How's it feel in here?
Is the water fine?
Fine like cloth or like
Turpentine?
The pattern where our habits hide
Isn't it lovely?
I'll never hold you
To all you held me to
I wanna talk about
All the ways
Every example of
The shapes
We use to communicate
For example when
You're leaning in
To my armageddon
And then you stop
Do you also feel the weight of loss?
Isn't it lonely?
I'll never hold ya
The way you held me up

[@nickhpr]

Does anyone know what guitar he’s playing?

[@rileylam2883]

(pure ear, no confirmation from Evan obviously)
i got this feelin' a mile wild
look at it a little, each side
the portal fort, climb inside
hows it feelin' here?
is the water fine?
fine like cloth?
or like turpentine?
the pattern raw (habitat? could not dicifer)
isn't it lovely?
ill never hold you to all you held me too
wanna talk about all the ways
every example of the shapes we use to communicate
for example: when you're leanin' in to my armageddon and then you stop
do you also feel the weight of loss?
isn't it lonely?
i'll never hold ya the way you held me up

[@trentinpiper4121]

One person had listed "raw habotai" which is like cheap silk, but I believe he says "the pattern, our habits hide.

[@romanmacharoni]

The patterns that our habits hide*

[@luciamondino]

hey i know this is late but do you know what he means when he goes “i’ll never hold you to all you held me too”?

[@Godspeedjosh]

@@luciamondino I’m assuming he means holding her to the same standards that she held him. Maybe he’s just not as interested.

[@luciamondino]

@@Godspeedjosh makes sense thank you

[@Sn0wball7]

Are those nylon strings?

[@Mike-mg9me]

yep! pretty cool tone for this one

[@mattdoss77]

As good as the Skylight version of this song is,and it is great, this kind of ruins it for me after watching it so many times. The intro, and those harmonies and the way they seem to be communicating like only real friends&bandmates can. Ugh.

[@earthbender5628]
