Archaeology

lyrics

We've got a history, it's hard to read.
It's drawn out, dense with subtleties and I'm tired of poring over everything chapter and verse.
My memory fails at times but you're so well rehearsed.
I remember way back when you were a sapling but a "10".
Your roots are growing deeper and I can't dig around them trying to find a trace of something I can comprehend.

I'm digging up these bones trying to find the proof of things that I once felt for you.
I'm putting them together in ways that resemble things we swore would last forever.
They're looking more like monsters... they're looking more like passing trends.

We've got a history, it's hard to hear.
You're floating further from the pier.
I'm tired of playing second fiddle to bartenders and beer and the lies that float like moths across the songs that pierce their ears.
I remember way back when I was your first-mate and a "10".
My roots are growing deeper and you can't dig around them trying to find a trace of something you can comprehend.

I'm digging up these bones trying to find the proof of things that I once felt for you.
I'm putting them together in ways that resemble things we swore would last forever.
They're looking more like monsters... they're looking more like passing trends.

What you may not notice: my feet are in your soles.
This one's written just for you, love.
As heavy as our past is, I'm looking through your glasses.
I'm walking in your shoes, love.

I'm digging up these bones trying to find the proof of things that I once felt for you.
I'm putting them together in ways that resemble things we swore would last forever.
They're looking more like monsters... they're looking more like passing trends.
