verse 1 Picking A long time ago I was sitting by a home I didn't know what it was for, I didn't know why I was there Seeds put in the lawn, saw the flowers growing so I thought i'd tag along I peeked through the door, it was vacant as could be Until I saw my vines growing in it's windows, I knew this had startled me If we laid on the floors in it's rooms, I'd let your thoughts consume me Unlike the sidewalks paved that only saw what they wanted to see If we laid in the backyard, and heard the cars in the streets Thought maybe if you could see me in the dark, in the light I could finally see me If we sat on the front porch, and could feel you surrounding me Then for the first time I could feel your heart beating Interlude verse 2 Picking You tell me, "Sometimes at night the dark crawls through your windows" I tell you, "You need to board them up because the dark that you're seeing is shadows" There are things in it's attic and there are things in it's basement If we laid on the floors in it's rooms, I'd let your thoughts consume me Unlike the sidewalks paved that only saw what they wanted to see If we laid in the backyard, and heard the cars in the streets Thought maybe if you could see me in the dark, in the light I could finally see me If we sat on the front porch, and could feel you surrounding me Then for the first time I could feel your heart beating Bridge 2x But the sign on the front lawn, it says to save him Could you save him? Could you save her? Could you save them all? Could you paint them? Could you paint them? Could you repair them all? Could you love it? Would you love it? Could you love it at all? If we laid on the floors in it's rooms, I'd let your thoughts consume me Unlike the sidewalks paved that only saw what they wanted to see If we laid in the backyard, and heard the cars in the streets Thought maybe if you could see me in the dark, in the light I could finally see me If we sat on the front porch, and could feel you surrounding me Then for the first time I could feel your heart beating Outro Picking If we laid on the floors in it's rooms, I'd let your thoughts consume me ...
