lyrics

Once when you were gone in Florida
I went to your house and swept your floors
You didn’t ask, I didn’t tell
I just wanted to know you well
Wanted the dust, wanted the dirt, wanted more

The wood was cold and Blue was playing
I crawled every inch of every room
Til I felt I belonged to every floorboard
And every song was about it

So you were already building fences
I didn’t care or maybe I was just defenseless
But I still swim behind your heavy eyelids
For better, not best

In your dream I was drowning
And I know what it means
You feel the need to protect me
You feel the need to forget me
And I told you from the tree that you can
I’m not coming down for someone I love again
