Standard (EADGBE)
I like looking at the sky as the wind plays through
The skirts of the trees the silence knows how afraid we are of it
Cherished memories bleed and bloom our secrets like seeds
get swept up and carried through our neighborhood
Safe as houses tuck me in
Daylight waits for no man youre still young
and breathings easy suck it in
what a waste this facade
What a pity weve come this far
The rain will fall and baptize our strongholds our sheltered lives
Closed blinds drawn curtains and vinyl floors cant hide
Stained memories bleed and bloom our secrets like weeds
Creeps up to the roof of our neighborhood
Safe as houses tuck me in
Daylight waits for no man youre still young
and breathings easy suck it in
What a waste this facade
What a pity weve come this far how luscious denial our devoured minds
Our thoughts remain impotent our pillows stay fertile
Safe as houses tuck me in
Daylight waits for no man youre still young
and breathings easy suck it in
What a waste this facade
What a pity weve come this far
What a pity weve come this far
