CLOSE UP ON THE QUIET ONES LYRICS

"Imaginary Houses"

Stop! Stop! Stop!
We're running between cars and
trucks with beds you could sleep in and
dream of the day, the day we could hope,
the day we could hope some way we'd leave this town.
Because this house isn't mine when I wake.
What a beautiful day, I'd have to say,
I never thought that you'd be calling me this late.

if you knew me, you'd shoot me.
This is a game that we can't afford to play.
But you think you're holding all the cards
and I swear that life without you would just teach me to pray.
So now I'm hiding in parking lots with prayer books
and a list of charming twists
I wish you could predict,
but you're just someone who won't be missed.

So keep your fingers away from the shower drain.
You always said that you wished I was vain.
So now I'm underneath the neon lights screaming, memory.
I'm not afraid of this game.
And I'd drive for miles and miles just to make you feel alive, again.

if you knew me, you'd shoot me.
This is a game that we can't afford to play.
But you think you're holding all the cards
and I swear that life without you would just teach me to pray.
So now I'm hiding in parking lots with prayer books
and a list of charming twists
I wish you could predict,
but you're just someone who won't be missed.

And I love you to death, or at least what's left.
Cause the empire in your head has left monsters under your bed.
But see, I'm still here.
With everything in the world to fear.
Yeah, see I'm still here, I swear I'm still here
and I'm not gonna disappear.
