Acid Test Lyrics & Chords By Emma Pollock

This house does not feel like a home
Is it occupied?
This life is not one that I own
Do I dramatize?

These days I think I'll stay at home
By the fireside
Just leave the outdoors to get on
While I theorize

There is nothing here to celebrate
I should be kicking out my heels of late
If it fits then I'll wear it
If you can hear me I declare it, share it

I carved your name out
Sunny and blue
I picked your sit-in
Just me and you
No one else is
Ever around
This is the acid test
That I've found

At least three times in a single week
I am run aground
There is no warning I can seek
I am always found

There is no rhyme or reason to this
A fog appears
With the gaping hollow under my feet
I disappear

There is nothing here to stop me
I just fall until it's got me
If it fits then I'll wear it
If you can hear me I declare it, share it

I carved your name out
Sunny and blue
I picked your sit-in
Just me and you
No one else is
Ever around
This is the acid test
That I've found

I think I need to shake up, wake up fast
Forgive a little low
I won't let it last
With every little day that passes
Something is fixing the something that's broken
This conversation is no longer token

I carved your name out
Sunny and blue
I picked your sit-in
Just me and you
No one else is
Ever around
This is the acid test
That I've found
