Woodwork Lyrics

i hear your heart
as it beats beneath
the sound of crashing cars.
as the sirens pour
into every street
surrounding us,
our world caves in on us
and makes us new.

all our love came out of the woodwork.
all our strength came out of the woodwork.
we only notice light
when darkness crashes against it.
we only notice light
deep in the woodwork.

i still hear the song
as it rings beneath the sound
of shattered glass.
in the aftermath,
the melody, it carries on
while we come undone,
and makes us new.

all our love came out of the woodwork.
all our strength came out of the woodwork.
we only notice light
when darkness crashes against it.
we only notice light
deep in the woodwork.

it’s a cruel, cruel trick
how we find ourselves
when we lose everything else.
like a train wreck,
the sound of your breathing hits my ears.
our world reappears
and it breaks us new.

all our love came out of the woodwork.
all our strength came out of the woodwork.
all our trust came out of the woodwork.
we only notice light deep in the woodwork.

Cover art for Woodwork lyrics by Sleeping At Last

(i hear your heart as it beats beneath the sound of crashing cars. as the sirens pour into every street surrounding us,) Someone's been injured in a car accident

(all our love came out of the woodwork. all our strength came out of the woodwork. we only notice light when darkness crashes against it. we only notice light deep in the woodwork.) Probably about how, when an emergency happens, every petty fight / disagreement you might have with someone goes away because you are so worried. The love that you may not have expressed for a while "comes out of the woodwork" (suddenly appears) and strength you didn't realize you had "comes out of the woodwork" as well because you need to be strong to get through the trauma and panic of an accident.
