Answering Bell (Live at Carnegie Hall, May 14, 2022) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did I slip? I know I stumbled
Did I trip? 'Cause I know I fell
All's I know is I'll wake up here in my clothes tomorrow

[Chorus]
But oh girl, I wish I knew you well
Oh girl, I wish I knew you well
But I'm just saying hi to your answering bell

[Verse 2]
Did I run? I thought I was walking
Through your inexhaustible gale
The names are changed but the constellations
Are still falling

[Chorus 2]
Oh girl, if you could only tell
Oh girl, if you could only tell
But I'm just saying hi

[Bridge]
Let your tears fall and touch my skin
Then your thunderclouds could rage and wail
I will collect them all for you in butterfly jars
[Chorus 3]
And oh girl, I'll build your wishing well
Oh girl, I'll build your wishing well
But I'm just saying hi to your answering bell

[Verse 3]
Did I sleep? Must have been dreaming
Did I weep? 'Cause I cried like hеll
All's I want is your fortress of tears to crumble

[Chorus 4]
And oh girl, I'd tеar 'em down myself
And oh girl, the stories they could tell
But I'm just saying hi

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
