[Intro]
Old coat
Frayed at the sleeves
Pocket full of stones
And hospital receipts
[Verse 1]
Boot prints
Up the same damn hill
Every splintered fence post
Knows I’m stubborn still
Your name in the bark
Of a leaning oak
Every ring in the wood
Feels like another joke
[Chorus]
I’ve got gravel in my throat
From screaming at the road that took you
Every mile
Another ghost
In the rearview of this broken Subaru
If every song is just a note
Scratched into a failing voice
Then this hurt
This hurt
Is the only thing I get to choose
[Verse 2]
Cold fork
In a chipped white bowl
Two plates set out
Old reflex
Old role
Your chair never moves
But I still leave space
Like you’re running five minutes late
From some kinder place
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Tell me
What kind of mercy
Lets the clock keep dragging me?
Bare feet on the porch rail
Dare the dark to answer me
[whispered vocals]
If you’re out there
If you’re out there
Say something
Say anything
[Chorus]
