Smoke detector, smoke detector
All you need to do is protect her
Smoke detector

Smoke detector, smoke detector
Blink and bless her and let her rest
Don't let my memory dissolve

Make a list of your loved ones in order of height
Laugh at the blackbirds in the black of the night
Forgive all the favorites in your phone
Imagine yourself completely alone
Sit in the backyard in my pharmacy slippers
At least I'm not on the roof anymore
In a year or so I hope nobody remembers
This run of episodes of my time on the floor

Need to recharge, light from the stars
Won't really reach anything will it?
Binary capsules of all human culture
History and science and headless sculptures
Stories of monkeys and digital religions
Like life on a note of the last living pigeon

Smoke detector, smoke detector
All you need to do is protect her
Smoke detector

Smoke detector, smoke detector
Blink and bless her and let her rest
Don't let my memory dissolve

I'll get better, I'll fluff the feathers
I'll punch in the numbers and I'll enter the letters
Why don't you let me lay here and listen to the distant sirens?
Wonder why they have a dog in the driver's seat
With a red helmet and his head out the window
It's getting closer no matter where we go
Brush your teeth and write your name
On the bottom of brick under the window pane

Sift through the slush and the ash and the dust
For whatever stands out for whatever reason
If it's a laugh or a rush a remembered feeling
You don't know it means but you don't want to leave it
Put it in a plastic bag and put it in a pocket
Hang it on a hanger and put it in a closet
You'll know where it is whenever you need it
I make a good argument, admit it

You don't know how much I love you, do you?
You don't know how much I love you, do you?
Just try to remember the best of us
Just try to remember the best of us

Make a list of your loved ones in order of height
Laugh at the blackbirds in the black of the night
Forgive all the favorites in your phone
Imagine yourself completely alone

Sit in the backyard in my pharmacy slippers
At least I'm not on the roof anymore
In a year or so I hope nobody remembers
This run of episodes of my time on the floor

Need to recharge, light from the stars
Won't really reach anything will it?
The binary capsules of all human culture
Science and history and headless sculptures
Stories of monkeys and digital religions
Like a note on the ankle of the last living pigeon

You don't know how much I love you, do you?
You don't know how much I love you, do you?

I'll get better, I'll fluff the feathers
I'll punch in the numbers and enter the letters
Why don't you stay and listen to the sirens with me?
I wonder if they have a dog in the driver's seat
With a red helmet and his head out the window
It's getting closer no matter where we go
Brush your teeth and write your name
On the bottom of a brick under the window pane

Sift through the slush and the ash and the dust
For whatever stands out for whatever reason
If it's a laugh or a rush or a remembered feeling
You don't know it means but you don't want to leave it

Put it in a plastic bag and put it in the closet
And hang it in the hanger and put it in a closet
You don't know where it is whenever you need it
I make a good argument, admit it

You don't know how much I love you, do you?
You don't know how much I love you, do you?
You don't know how much I love you, do you?
You don't know how much I love you, do you?

You don't know how much I love you, do you?
You don't know how much I love you, do you?
You don't know how much I love you, do you?
You don't know how much I love you, do you?
You don't know how much I love- Writer/s: Aaron Brooking Dessner, Bryce David Dessner, Matthew Donald Berninger
