[Verse 1]
I'm standing at the water's edge, I was left here to dry
Now the air has soaked in my eyes and it appears I'm living in disguise
'Cause my gills just weren't ready for this increased oxygen
Where can I start but to begin this process of diving in?
Foreshadowing it echoes through the halls into your room
It's all clear what made this true and now the thing that hurts the most is the window
Serving as a magnifying gla** I picked it up
Built it all around myself and now I don't think that I can ever get out
[Chorus]
Every night these little patters come flying in above my head
Whisper in my ear, how come I'm not dead
And keep me where I am
[Verse 2]
I'm sitting in the station, all the smoke's coming alive
Poking out its head and arms and spine
Maybe there's a place somewhere to hide
'Cause I started getting cagey when they took my front porch away
The girl with flowers in her eyes
She'll be uprooted as soon as she learns to cry
[Chorus]
Every night these little patters come flying in above my head
Whisper in my ear, how come I'm not dead
And keep me where I am
Keep me where I am (repeated)
