lyrics

‘Cause you’ve been seeing ghosts crawling up the walls of your new home
The way your grandfather walks, stumble over the words as he talks
Holding your elbow as he moves from one side of the room to the window
Holding your hand saying it’s ok not to have it planned
Because look how I turned out, even if I wish I could start out from the beginning
We’d be two children born alone in a wooded clearing
Raised by wolves, not speaking human language.
I can’t understand what you’ve been trying to say me.

It’s crawling up the staircase as you watch, back to the back of your bedroom door
Sweat creeping down the back of your neck to the carpeted floor
Never expect to see the dead growing through your kitchen or your living room
Knowing that dead people are watching you, and you will never be alone, and it will never be over.

And I’ll move to the mountains, not see anyone and grow my hair long, and build a cabin with my bare hands.

There are ghosts, guilt and grandparents that cling like dust to the curtains of your bedroom.
I’ll take my chances with those horrible things that I said to you like healing isn’t a moment, it’s a process that we’ll go through together, and I know it’ll never be over.
