Grandeur Lyrics

In the house up on the hill

with the dishes in the sink

My rings on the windowsill, I woke up just to think

I turned the radio on, like a ghost in the fog

I heard a voice come on and listened to it talk

'Til the sun turned the room into gold flames

From a time machine back east

To the dark when you would lay me down to sleep

Oh, my pillow sinking deeper

you never were a sleeper, you never were a keeper

You climbed out of the basement, got a leg up

Now reach back, don't forget to lift me up

You climbed out of the basement, got a leg up

Now reach back, don't forget to lift me up

You said it's all gonna feel too small

Because we were never really meant to stay

You said remember it will all turn gold

And I will never go away

You said it's all gonna feel too small

Because we were never really meant to stay

You said it's all gonna turn to gold

And I will never go away

We were always on our way to something grander

Now I run around town looking for an answer

In the gold flames from a time machine back east

To the dark when you would lay me down to sleep

Oh, my pillow sinking deeper, you never were a sleeper

You never were a sleeper

You climbed out of the basement, got a leg up

Now reach back, don't forget to lift me up

You climbed out of the basement, got a leg up

Now reach back, don't forget to lift me up
