[Verse 1]

Drawn into the frost on the glass, was a map

Pointing to my secret hiding place

It led you to the tree with the split in its trunk

On the way into your family's yard

In that tree, you saw I'd brought the dog back to life

[Verse 2]

I watched you from the branches while you stared

From the ground, with a look I couldn't understand

So I said, "Leave me alone

If your only words are ugly ones"

And you just smiled

And said, "Come and show me how it's done"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

We dug up your old bird

And you held her to your chest

As I breathed life back into her lungs

And she blinked and flapped her wings

She sang a familiar song

Before she took to the air

And cut a path into the woods

[Bridge]

And then I cried

'Cause all my life

I had known something was off

But you just shrugged, and said, "It ain't just you"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

Slipping on the pavement where we ran from the ghost

That you saw behind the cellar door

That's the way that you showed me that I wasn't quite alone

That you'd also touched the dead before
