(Intro)

Somewhere underneath

The floorboard

I will sweep my garden

Underneath the cupboard

Lives a mouse

And he discovered

There was nothing there

Nothin' there to discover

Fallin' from the sky

There are raindrops in my eyes

 And my thoughts are diggin' in the backyard

 My roots have grown but I don't know where they are

Don't know where they are

I don't know where they are

 My roots have grown but I don't know where they are

Cats and dogs and rooster calls

Telephones and pay phone stalls

They take away

The lonely days

 For now

They take away

The lonely days

 For now

Break

Windblown whispers wind naked down the corridor

Thoughts leavin' my head, they twist through yours

What will become of these gestures that we made

I've given up my Bible, you moved out of state ohhhhhh

Wearily waitin' on the wastin' of his days

A sad son's smoldering soul

Give you three bucks for your sympathy and another for a cigarette

The interaction feels so cold ohhhh

Oh the songs people will sing for home

 And for the ones that have been gone for too long

 But oh the things people will do for the ones that they love

We're only here to find the love that lingers after

The moment

So kiss me in the back room where the music plays

 I know that it's not over

Oh the songs people will sing for home

 And for the ones that have been gone for too long

 But oh the things people will do for the ones that they love

Break down the corridors

La-da-da, da-da-da da da

Break down the corridors

La-da-da, da-da-da da

Messes that I haven't tried to clean up in a while Ohhhhhh

You're in my soul now

 You've gotta waste away with me

 My mind's made up, I'm doing this with you

There's no use knowin'

 Which way the wind is blowin'

 My mind's made up, I'm staying here, I'm staying here with you

There's no use knowin'

 Which way the wind is blowin'

 My mind's made up, I'm doin' this, I'm doin' this

You're in my soul now

 You've gotta waste away with me
