Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Well, as a child, I mostly spoke inside my head
I had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the dead
And they thought me broken, that my tongue was coated lead
But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them
If you only listen with your ears, I can't get in
[Verse 2]
And I spent my evenin's pullin' stars out of the sky
And I'd arrange them on the lawn, where I would lie
And in the wind, I'd taste the dreams of distant lives
And I would dress myself up in them through the night
While my folks would sleep in separate beds and wonder why
[Verse 3]
And through them days, I was a ghost atop my chair
My dad considered me a cross he had to bear
And in my head, I'd sing apologies and stare
As my mom would hang the clothes across the line
And she would try to keep the empty from her eyes
[Verse 4]
So, then one afternoon, I dressed myself alone
I packed my pillowcase with everything I owned
And in my head, I said goodbye, then I was gone
And I set out on the heels of the unknown
So my folks could have a new life of their own
And that maybe I could find someone
Who could hear the only words that I'd known
