I Visited Yesterday. Lyrics

I could have sworn that house was breathing

And you could have warned me not to stay

But the chemicals in the paint left a residue

The lights been shut off for a year now

The smell of mildews all that's new

And the linoleum has seen better shoes

And I dreamed

About

The walls last night

And the floor as I stood

Told me

You better move on while you can

Well you could say that trucks what raised me

On busted air and worn down tires

But the tracks it left always seemed to run for miles

Battery's been dead for a while now

Brakes haven't worked since before

We left it parked, to sit alone in the dark and ignore

But at night

Sometimes, I hear

It hum on down the road

Driving just to search

For somewhere new to go

With memories in tow

Well those plots they keep on filling

Added more but that's nothing new

It used to be a field, now it's the only place I can come to see you

Dirts been settled four years now

Not even the grass can say it's new

And the trinkets all have faded with the pictures and lettering too

But every time

I glance around and hope

I'll see you cross that hill

It's the wonderings of a child

To stubborn to reconcile

But too old to rebuild
