The Surgeons Only Daughter

Verse 1

House smells like antiseptic

I keep the dinner on the warm setting

Empty hallway stretching

Three hours past my bedtime again

Pre-Chorus

Pager beeping in the hall

Frame hanging on the wall

Paper trail of missing things

Trophy that the neighbor brings

Chorus

White coats and the heavy doors

Saving souls on those sterile floors

They love the world more than the girl at home

Trading my time for a broken bone

Healing strangers in the night

While I'm sleeping without a light

They keep the pulse while mine is fading low

Good people with no place to go

No place to go

Verse 2

Ghostly rooms and blue scrub laundry

Pills and coffee on the granite island

One child left to wandering

Silence is the only sibling I have

Pre-Chorus

Clock is ticking on the shelf

Talking only to myself

Plastic wrap on every plate

Coming back a little late

Chorus

White coats and the heavy doors

Saving souls on those sterile floors

They love the world more than the girl at home

Trading my time for a broken bone

Healing strangers in the night

While I'm sleeping without a light

They keep the pulse while mine is fading low

Good people with no place to go

Bridge

Scalpel blade

Debt is paid

Lives are mended while I wait

Open heart

Rooms apart

Science is a lonely art

Chorus

White coats and the heavy doors

Saving souls on those sterile floors

They love the world more than the girl at home

Trading my time for a broken bone

Healing strangers in the night

While I'm sleeping without a light

They keep the pulse while mine is fading low

Good people with no place to go

No place to go
