Lyrics
DIRT UNDER MY NAILS
[Intro — low, intimate]
I locked the door last night.
I remember that.
[Verse 1]
Little bit of dirt beside the bed
Swept it up before my coffee
Blamed the cat, blamed my shoes
Didn’t think much of it, honestly
Next night, there it was again
Dark soil on the hardwood floor
Little trail beside my pillow
Stopping right before the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Windows locked
Chain still on
Nothing missing
Nothing wrong
So tell me why
Every morning
Something followed me back home
[Chorus]
Dirt under my nails
Mud around my feet
Grass across the bedroom floor
Stuck between the sheets
I don’t know where I’ve been
I don’t know what I’ve done
But every night I go to sleep clean
Every morning
I come back with some
[Verse 2]
Started tying bells around the door
Put a glass against the frame
Set my shoes beneath the dresser
Wrote the time beside my name
Woke up
Bells hadn’t moved
Glass standing where it stood
Shoes were clean
But on my nightgown
One small leaf
Still wet from the woods
[Pre-Chorus]
Windows locked
Chain still on
Nothing missing
Nothing wrong
But there’s something in my bedroom
That keeps bringing me back home
[Chorus]
Dirt under my nails
Mud around my feet
Grass across the bedroom floor
Stuck between the sheets
I don’t know where I’ve been
I don’t know what I’ve done
But every night I go to sleep clean
Every morning
I come back with some
[Bridge — stripped almost bare]
Last night
I didn’t sleep
Sat against the headboard
Watching three fifteen
Become three sixteen
Blink
Three seventeen
Blink
Five forty-two
And I was standing in the hallway
Barefoot
Holding a shovel
[Final Chorus — restrained, heavier]
Dirt under my nails
Mud up to my knees
Something from the backyard
Caught inside my sleeve
Now I know where I’ve been
I just don’t know why
’Cause every night
I leave this house
And something
Makes sure
I come back inside
[Outro — almost spoken]
This morning
There wasn’t any dirt beside the bed.
There was a hole
in the backyard.
And my shovel was already in it.
