Basia Bulat - Snakes And Ladders Lyrics

These mirrors you've broken are your cry for art
Salt and pepper shakers over your shoulders
Cross your heart
Don't you know it's bad luck
To stay in one place for too long?
You've been listening to the voices in your head
Helpless when they go

So we play a game of snakes and ladders
Gambled our mistakes
Didn't know what could come after
Threw away the cards
Who thinks it could matter?
Oh, who believes in fate, anyway?

When only you could be the one
To win out over me
When it isn't just a game
It's the way we come undone

What a perfect accident
Oh, we danced around them all
Like we didn't even notice
I love the way we come undone

Thought I saw something hidin' in the yard
But it was bad weather to keep a watch out in the dark
You know, all this time I've been playing for your heart
But I never let it on
I'll have to watch you play the part

So we played a game of snakes and ladders
Gambled our mistakes
Didn't know what could come after
Threw away the cards
Who thinks it could matter?
Oh, who believes in fate anyway?

When only you could be the one
To win out over me
When it isn't just a game
It's the way we come undone

What a perfect accident
Oh, we danced around them all
Like we didn't even notice
I love the way we come undone
