lyrics

My father was a carpenter
he built this house for my mother
and when they left anaheim
she said "I'm scared"
he said, "so am I

but we both know
the kind of pain
left in these walls
they're in our names
so lets take our boys
and drive them east
if you look back
tell me of the crooked arms
and how they bent the least
the ones who stood back up
were still standing
and that if we go right now
we'll never be left behind
that there is a place for us
if we close our eyes"

So don't you let me
walk away if I try
don't you know I've been waiting
for someone like you to arrive?
If you go
I'll go
because where you go
I'll make my home.

home.

my father was a carpenter
he built this house for my mother.

(kid, you've fallen again. for summer love and railroad fashion. care, such care you take. to stop your hands from the ways that they shake. but the way you toss and turn at night is not holy speech or divine. you love the sounds of glass. i love the way you tell me that. see the headlights turning red? like comets in a fish eye lens? i stared as you fell asleep, and dreamt of the city. but the way you toss and turn at night is not holy speech or divine. you drive when you can't sleep, but the roads keep you empty like the words in the songs that i sing. so i'll keep you safe in the walls behind my teeth. till the casts fall by your feet. because i count the days in an endless tally. the days before you found me.)
