Lyrics
[Intro]
Count it in with a heartbeat
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
You can frame it in a window
You can shine it till it gleams
You can sell it by the measure
Wrap it up in clever dreams
But I watch your hands go quiet
When the room begins to turn
If the spark can’t cross the distance
What’s the point of letting burn?
[Pre-Chorus]
No receipt can prove a thunderclap
No rule can tell a river where to run
When the truth arrives, you answer back
Before you know the answer’s come
[Chorus]
If it doesn’t make you feel, it isn’t real
Let it rattle every rib and spin the wheel
When the polished little story loses steel
If it doesn’t make you feel, it isn’t real
You can dress it up in gold and call it sealed
But a locked-up heart has nothing to reveal
Give me something that can bruise and heal
If it doesn’t make you feel, it isn’t real
[Verse 2]
There’s a baker in the morning
With flour on his sleeve
There’s a letter by the doorway
That he’s scared to read
There’s a tune from someone’s kitchen
Leaning through the wall
None of it is asking permission
Still it makes the whole place call
[Pre-Chorus]
No chart can hold the way a memory bends
No clever phrase can make a promise true
When the silence finally breaks its fence
The first thing that it finds is you
[Chorus]
If it doesn’t make you feel, it isn’t real
Let it rattle every rib and spin the wheel
When the polished little story loses steel
If it doesn’t make you feel, it isn’t real
You can dress it up in gold and call it sealed
But a locked-up heart has nothing to reveal
Give me something that can bruise and heal
If it doesn’t make you feel, it isn’t real
[Bridge]
Leave the perfect little answer on the table
Let the honest, crooked question take its place
There’s a kind of truth no courtroom can enable
It arrives warm and trembling in your face
[Instrumental Break]
[Final Chorus]
If it doesn’t make you feel, it isn’t real
Let it rattle every rib and spin the wheel
When the polished little story loses steel
If it doesn’t make you feel, it isn’t real
Take the chance that leaves a fingerprint to heal
Take the road that makes your careful compass squeal
Give me something that can bruise and heal
If it doesn’t make you feel, it isn’t real
[Outro]
No borrowed shine, no hollow seal
If it doesn’t make you feel
It isn’t real
