Lyrics

The thing about a past life
Or a parallel universe
Is that everything kinda looks the same
And it’s hard to say which came first
So you walk through the shroud
Of the familiar made strange
And you’re pretty sure you haven’t died
So why the change?

Maybe the bones should stay buried

You came because your desperation
Was tugging at your sleeve
And you came despite every indication
That you’d never want to leave
And you fell in love all over again
With the way it used to be
But the halcyon dream is a far cry
From the new reality

Maybe the bones should stay buried

Backyard, pack the dirt down hard
And set the feelings free
Empty the bottle of whiskey
To the way it used to be
See it hit the ground, maybe a kiss is all you need
Maybe it could live again if the sun could only see the seed

Silly girl, you let the fantasies
Rent the rooms inside your head
But there’s no such thing as resurrection
Just let the dead stay dead
It’s a quandary so sit and ponder
What was ever really yours
There’s no kind of magic you can conjure
That could open up the door

Maybe the bones should stay buried
