We stared out the window by the hall And listened to the rain drum its patterns And we traded all our confessions Then you told me to listen to you well That givers draw the lines 'Cause the takers never will Or they wouldn't be takers But don't mind me I'm adrift in my sea Want to stay Want to leave Treat this house Like a shipwreck on ivory shores The flowers we lay across the graves Probably wanted to live just the same A ghastly trade Pain for pain And the people we dreamed we'd be They didn't dream of us Dust to dust Pour one out For the roads never travelled Don't mind me I'm adrift in my seat Shaky hands Twitchy feet Treat this house Like a shipwreck on ivory shores Like the ocean's just beyond the front door If I open it up It'll swallow us whole Just like it did before
