lyrics
I catch you stare at me again A scrap of hope across the room Your face still sad as ever Did I look away too soon?
Your fingernails turned dead As the heart you're praying to We sat together on these stairs You told me nothing new
Know that I admired you that day I've been sitting on your side before And never had the courage to Make up proper words
Or maybe I just didn't have Someone so naive like me That I knew would listen closely Knowing things they cannot speak
So together let's carry this coffin The casket full of my love for you Let's bury it deep in the woods A forest that already knew
So together let's carry this coffin A grave for one miserable lover Beneath trees that know it all I can even help you shovel
I still see you sitting there On that old moss-covered grave I was pretty clear on what had to come to a bitter end
I'm sure you left a few black stains That same night below your eyes I only wanted to give you what I found as sacrifice
I remember things I said That I hoped others would've had The courage to tell me when I was in your shoes
On that cross, your dangling feet I never ever had a chance To get that final blow myself And girl, you took it like a champ
So together let's carry this coffin The casket full of my love for you Let's bury it deep in the woods A forest that already knew
So together let's carry this coffin A grave for one miserable lover Beneath trees that know it all I can even help you shovel
It's been years since I saw these tears And I hope that you found your way I only wish that you were here to Tell me you're okay
I still think about that time I could have wrapped you in my arm But I was too scared to start Or maybe just too smart
So together let's carry this coffin The casket full of my love for you Let's bury it deep in the woods A forest that already knew
So together let's carry this coffin A grave for one miserable lover Beneath trees that know it all I can even help you shovel
So together let's carry this coffin To the woods that already know And we'll smile under the surface
Two young, stupid, incompetent ghosts
