lyrics

I would take my life around the world
Come back and settle down
Just to find the things you thought I left unsaid

Use you like narcotic comfort
I'll be your addicted consort
Anything to cure this pounding in my head

Tiptoe around the tender spots
Hot candle wax connects the dots
Of a cautionary tale that no one heeds

Locked in the heart's cemetery
Lost in a grave of memories
I stumbled on while tryna plant new seeds

Oh, I got bones under my floorboards
Your skeleton will be the death of me
Oh, I got bones under my heart
Your skeleton oh let it sing for me

Scream your name from the mountain tops
Just so long as I could see it all
Oh just how beautiful you'd always be

These three words escape my lips
More often than I care to admit
But, baby, I ain't full of it you'll see

All those cigarettes we smoked
And all those rotten nights we talked
About the things we thought the future held

I have now no place to go
I have lost myself
I need a new direction
Oh, boy I need some help

Oh, I got bones under my floorboards
Your skeleton will be the death of me
Oh, I got bones under my heart
Your skeleton oh let it sing for me
