abandoned house

No plans tonight, no hangouts

The market's closed for the day now

Hard to know that no one knows a thing about me

I'll see where the morning light takes me

Bike along to the smell of hot pastries

Stay out of their way, I'm a bother

Only feel at peace by the water (uh)

There's a old house at the edge of the lake

Always catches my eye when I walk to my place

A dock at the end with a big metal gate

Doesn't look all that far, just a boat ride away

There's something that's strange, a mystery tempting

A mansion of stone, what a shame if it's empty

Moss on the walls and covered by trees

A view that I see in my dreams

Maybe it's dark and abandoned, or crawling with mice

Or a lady of age that's barely alive

One day, I'll leave home on a lonely adventure

See for myself what's inside of this treasure

Grab a bag and a flashlight

Don't wanna get caught, leave at night

Walk on the edge where it's shallow

Boots to my knees, bright yellow, yeah

No plans tonight, no hangouts

The market's closed for the day now

Hard to know that no one knows a thing about me

I'll see where the morning light takes me

Bike along through the smell of hot pastries

Stay out of the way, I'm a bother

Only feel at peace by the water
