The crossed out lines on the map sometimes
Look like places we've never been before
Making coffee stains on rotten planks
We roamed outside today just to stay awake
The afternoon on Halloween was quiet cold and welcoming
The furnace burns a bit hotter than it has
In the past years I can recall
It's just we waited here all summer long
The car still sits on blocks outside
John drinks and pretends to drive
It will run one day just give him time
And he'll drive back years later to see
The house was much more fun when it was empty
Bridge
This afternoon on Halloween, throwing rocks down the well
Just to find out how deep
This disaster that came to mind of the long forgotten north
Of flood and of fires I would guess
Chorus
I hope these lights don't cut through the fog
It's our excuse when everything goes wrong
It seems our safe place has had a few close calls
So keep it up while we're gone
