ladders on tables - watchmaker lyrics

[intro: trenton woodley]
(watchmaker, teach me the ways)
(watchmaker, teach me the ways)
(watchmaker, teach me the ways)
i want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds, oh
(watchmaker, teach me the ways)
the methods to dull my ears to the sound

[verse 1: hance alligood]
teach me how to rewind, rewind so i can relive
every second, minute—all i missed, oh
i’m always focused on the next thing
if only i could pause and brеathe
teach me how

[refrain: trenton woodley, hance alligood, both]
if i wеre a watchmaker
i’d build suspension into the springs
hidden gears, secret faces
undiscovered hours to keep you in
these hours to keep you in

[pre+chorus: trenton woodley, hance alligood, both]
there’ll be no back
there’ll be no forth
just us where we are
[chorus: trenton woodley, hance alligood]
watchmaker, teach me the workings
i want to learn the secrets and sciences of seconds
teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines
teach me the measure of these machines

[post+chorus: trenton woodley, hance alligood]
i’m haunted by mechanical sounds
damped, stolen, and swallowed, relentless, counting down
in the bellies of old enemies
and i’m plagued by the “tick+tock, tick+tock”
but with vehemence, i’ll take to their faces and i’ll tear them away

[verse 3: trenton woodley, hance alligood]
there’s tension in me
i’m wound up and bound to this endless release
a robin imprisoned in a carved clock
i’m a tune locked in a music box to a grave melody

[pre+chorus: trenton woodley, hance alligood, both]
i can feel a nervousness in my fingers
to spindles, they’re wasting away
and with every twitch, they’re turning
passing by with my meaningless revolutions

[chorus: trenton woodley, hance alligood]
watchmaker, teach me the workings
i want to learn the secrets and sciences of seconds
teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines
teach me the measure of these machines
[bridge: trenton woodley, hance alligood]
i gazed too deep, i leaned in too close
caught by the collar and dragged into a two+four waltz
drawn into steps unfamiliar to me
i was passed like partners between turning t++th

[chorus: trenton woodley]
watchmaker, teach me the workings
i want to learn the secrets and sciences of seconds

[refrain: trenton woodley, hance alligood]
(teach me how to rewind, rewind so i can relive)
if i were a watchmaker
i’d build suspension into the springs
(every second, minute—all i missed, oh)
hidden gears, secret faces
undiscovered hours to keep you in

[chorus: trenton woodley, both]
teach me the workings
i want to learn
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh
teach me the measure of these machines
