Greenhouse (Acoustic)

You're a cold day in August, you're a stream too shallow

You're a heart shaped box with no letter inside

You're a seed unplanted, you're a field run fallow

Your heart's used up

You're feeling cast aside

I'm sorry that I left so soon

I left you standing at the gallows

You were all strung out

The hangman waiting for a sign

Come see me at the greenhouse in the back yard

Down at the oak tree

With our names carved in the bark

Come see me at the train tracks

Bringing pennies for old time's sake

Though I'm gone, there's some memories that you need to take with you

Now you're working up the courage, just to walk yourself through that doorway

Big world out there, you're afraid of what you'll find

But you're leaning on friends, finding comfort and laughter

You're patching up your heart, finding peace of mind

I'm sorry that I left so soon

You're stepping down from the gallows

You were all strung up

Hangman waiting for a sign

Come see me at the greenhouse in the back yard

Down at the oak tree

With our names carved in the bark

Come see me at the train tracks

Bringing pennies for old time's sake

Though I'm gone, there's some memories that you need to take with you

You found a new lover

Got yourself married

You're doing all the things that we never got to do

You had yourself a baby, she's beautiful and she's happy

Oh lord how I wish I could have given that to you

But I left too soon

I was standing at the gallows

I was all strung up

I gave the hangman the sign

You don't need me at the greenhouse in the backyard

Don't leave me at the oak tree

With our names carved in the bark

Don't make it to the train tracks

Bringing pennies for old times sake

There's new memories that you need to make

It's time for me to fade away

I'm going home

I'm gonna fade away

Fade away
