about

This is a song about feeling like you're home. The start of this song is the end of "Ghost Story" and the middle is from a song called "Sleeping Beauty" that never got recorded.

lyrics

(It goes on and on until it disappears, like we go and on until we disappear)

I feel distance ache inside of me swelling like a sea
I would only be ambitious enough to swim in my dreams
I trace the expanse of your back at night when I can't sleep
As if my fingertips are the breeze

But Oh! Oh!
You give me some place safe to exorcise the demons clawing under my skin
And calm all these off-rhythm heartbeats
Clinging to your bed sheets as if they were my skin
And you're my bones

(I wonder when I'm gone if you'll still listen to my songs
Because I swear to god, you still think of me
And I still feel all I felt
Though the daylight seeping through my window makes it hard to breath)

I was more patient than I knew I could be
Watching seasons mar bark off of sycamore trees
Like weeds overtaking the garden we grew
I have roots
