[Verse 1]
I caught a train
Just to watch suburbia begin to fade
As the night begins to swallow up the day
A cupboard mouse, the house that built me
Also wilts me like tall flowers in the shade
[Verse 2]
I saw your name
On a billboard for the fortunate to claim
On a sign to sweat the evil from my veins
Bygones should be long gone
But the thought of us still covers me in the shade
[Chorus]
And in this life you've shown me
I've never known me
I've given all of that away
And in the times I hold you
I should've shown you
How much of me needеd to stay
[Verse 3]
I'm wide awake
I hear my gеcko catching crickets in its cage
I hear my neigbors arguing about their day
I know a part of me is lost
I know to them, I'm worth the cost of saving face
[Verse 4]
I hear your name
From a friend who left with nothing else to say
I'm a guest until I clean the mess that I've made
Bygones should be long gone
But the thought of us still covers me in shade
[Chorus]
And in this life you've shown me
I've never known me
I've given all of that away
And in the times I hold you
I should've shown you
How much of me needed to stay
