[Verse 1]
Jack wore scuffed-up shoes
Sally wore a chain of dew
They climbed that brick path slow
To the house where the cold wind blew
Jack said, “Hold my sleeve”
Sally said, “I know you leave”
Still they ran that hill again
Like two small sparks against the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
One for the bruise
One for the bend
Up and up they go
Round that corner, back again
[Chorus]
Jack and Sally, up we fall
Jack and Sally, hear the call
Little crown, big crack
Still we climb, then slide back
Jack and Sally, up we fall
Jack and Sally, hear the call
(hear the call)
Hold my hand through the spill
We go up, we go still
[Verse 2]
Sally laughed with a torn lip smile
Jack kept pace for a crooked mile
The bucket swung on a frayed white rope
Like a tiny moon with a broken hope
She said, “Don’t look down”
He said, “I know this town”
But the sky got sharp and thin
And the world tipped just to let them in
[Pre-Chorus]
One for the bruise
One for the bend
Up and up they go
Round that corner, back again
[Chorus]
Jack and Sally, up we fall
Jack and Sally, hear the call
Little crown, big crack
Still we climb, then slide back
Jack and Sally, up we fall
Jack and Sally, hear the call
(hear the call)
Hold my hand through the spill
We go up, we go still
[Bridge]
If the hill keeps taking
What we saved in our palms
We’ll carve our names in the stone
And make a small, stubborn calm
[Final Chorus]
Jack and Sally, up we fall
Jack and Sally, hear the call
Little crown, big crack
Still we climb, then slide back
Jack and Sally, up we fall
Jack and Sally, hear the call
(hear the call)
Hold my hand through the spill
We go up, we go still
