lyrics

And you were scared of ghosts
Spirits in the glass by your bed
Your mother had told you that story
You heard growing up in El Salvador

When there's an earthquake
Our future's just a black hole this room
When there's an earthquake
A Jhumpa Lahiri novel on my shelf

And we went to see obscure art
I thought that I would flee with you to Spain
Because Love is a fossil that I found
Before it was a fish that had drowned

When there's an earthquake
Your mouth on the lips of someone else
When there's an earthquake
Your airplane ride to Spain will be alone

(And you'll be the spirit by my bed)

I'll be the spirit by your bed
