lyrics

I walk on shells but not eggs
The history beneath my feet, it speaks to me softly and sweet
Exposed by erosion
Slipping into change
I wanna know I'm wanted by more than the ghosts that are haunting my notebooks
And the cardinals that bleed through the chestnut trees
I watch myself on the edge
The business on the busy street invisible beneath my feet
Explode with emotion, revel in the rage
I wanna know I'm wanted by more than the ghosts that are haunting my notebooks
And the cardinals that bleed through the chestnut trees

Slow down baby, slow down
I need you to talk to me, just talk to me
Go now baby, downtown
I can hear you calling me across the street
But when I poke my head out the window you're gone, back to where you come from
Tell me what I did wrong

I lay my body in my bed
The sanctuary between the sheets it calls me to a real deep sleep
No noise or commotion, breathing out the day
I wanna know I'm wanted by more than the ghosts that are haunting my notebooks
And the cardinals that bleed through the chestnut trees

Whoa now baby, whoa now
Did you have a falling dream? A falling dream
Breathe in baby, breathe out
I can feel you grab for me across the sheets
But when I put my hand where your pillow belongs it's as cold as a stone
Tell me where have you gone
