lyrics

Creating archives, silos and beehives
I'm never going back to that house
A suitcase of old times, I'm finished with old times
And I'm not humming another old song

Remember the porch and the drowning lake
The stained glass light and the thoughts just before you wake
Remember the heat at the end of June
The knives you took up to your room
I heard something in your voice break

Lighting the lanterns and burning your fingers
These houses were built on burial land
Missing your brother, discovering letters
I never forgave you for leaving the city

Remember the hinge on the garden gate
The finger I tore on the wire rake that you swung
Remember how we first met
The bench where we sat and watched the jets
I heard something in your voice break

Becoming a photo, but what would I know?
I'm constantly seeking you in other rooms
We're traveling slower but never closer
I'm never going back to that house

Remember the feel of the ferris wheel
The pull of the season as it started to reel
I remember headaches and sick beds
The hope that this year would never end
I heard something in your voice break.
