Lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4
Sit me back down, and wait for me
To settle
Heal me ... wait no
Help me
I've stopped what I've been making
These bare walls are for the taking
I'll scratch my palm after a shower
I'm alright just pink all over
Replacing god with this water
Just to lie and call it a natural disaster
Was I safe when you wanted?
Was I plastic or wooden?
Carefully shaped so you couldn't see
Your creation deteriorating
You built a house with a garden
You built the roof when you shouldn't have
Nobodies been here in a minute
Take your time take your moment
To say your goodbyes to the creeks in the floor
That you memorized once she got bored
I wouldn't wish you away
Cause by now I would've done it already
Maybe i could've tried harder to decorate
But i was busy making sure that you didn't break
Not the red wood floors have a different stain
From tears 'bout getting older while staying the same
But my feet are still wet
And i never fixed that damn fence
Cause when she ran it over
I got closer and closer
To escaping
It's the answer that I'm taking
I'm getting older and older
So please just let me hold you until
You start to wish me away
Cause by now you built a home and you watched it break
Maybe you could've tried harder to decorate
But you tried your best
You tried
You stayed
Now these walls were never meant to bear this weight
And those carpet burns wont fade they'll change
Into something that won't matter as much some day
So i thank you old me for who she managed to create
