Tarnished Silver

Verse 1

Loose

Thread pulled

Running down the sweater hem

I found a quarter in the couch

Cold

Metal

Bitter copper taste on my tongue

I forgot what I was looking for anyway

Chorus

Give it back

Give it back

The time I spent waiting on the porch

The minutes lost staring at the paint

Give it back

Give it back

I am tired of the hollow sound

I am tired of the heavy weight

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

All gone

Oh oh

So long

Verse 2

Dust

Grey film

Settle on the window frame

Silver spoons are tarnished in the drawer

Empty

House

Bones are creaking in the hallway

Bones are shaking in the floor

No one is knocking

No one is calling my name

Just the rain

Chorus

Give it back

Give it back

The time I spent waiting on the porch

The minutes lost staring at the paint

Give it back

Give it back

I am tired of the hollow sound

I am tired of the heavy weight

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

All gone

Oh oh

So long

Bridge

I tried to fix it

I tried to hold it

I tried to save it

But the glass just shattered

The water just leaked

The garden just died

Nothing left to grow here

Nothing left to show you

Chorus

Give it back

Give it back

The time I spent waiting on the porch

The minutes lost staring at the paint

Give it back

Give it back

I am tired of the hollow sound

I am tired of the heavy weight

Outro

Walking out

Walking out

Walking out

Leave the key

Under the stone

Finally alone
