The front door still sticks in the heat of July
Just like it did when you said your goodbye
There's a dent in the drywall a foot from the floor
The night that we danced and you slipped on the door
Painted the kitchen a soft shade of blue
To cover the world that was chosen by you
But the sunlight's still there specific angle
Catches the ghost of gold tangle
I'm trying to leave but the windows are out
The chimney is breathing heavy dark side
I can change all the lights and the names on the leaves
But the floorboards are holding a grudge against pieces
A structural ache is a foundational rule
In the house that remembers you
I hear a ghost coming at night
Rattle the pipes when I turn on the light
The garden is old grown tangled and wild
Like a secret we kept or a dream of a child
I find your bobby pins hidden in cracks
Silver and remain it tracks leading back
The thermostat's broken it stays just chill
No matter how many old spaces I fill
The breath as a memory the mortar has ears
And soaked up the salt of a thousand plus tears
If I tore down the rafters and leveled the light
Would I still see your face
In the one empty spot I'm trying to leave?
That the windows are rising and the chimney is breathing
Heavy dark side
I can change all the locks and the names on the leaves
But the floorboards are holding a grudge against pieces
A structural ache is a foundational rule
In the house that remembers you
Uuuuuu
Uuuuuu
Uuuuuu
The roof is still leaking
The stairs are still creaking
You hear they keep speaking
You're here
The house won't let go
It will fight you
