I don't know why you come back here
Catchin' little things
Ego flooded mama's floor and burned the sparrow's wings
I don't know why you come back here
Lyin' through your teeth
Hiding every time ain't right by me (2x)
Come down now child
Don't be afraid
You've got your wills
You've got your ways
Then your mouth draws a line
Between your face and mine
Now you're runnin' away
Through disappearing alleways
Then your mouth draws a line
Between your face and mine
And I'll meet you someday
In disappearing alleyways
You bring me clocks
That show no sign
A nameless face
That runs on pride
I don't know why you come back here
Catchin' little things
Ego flooded mama's floor and burned the sparrow's wings
I don't know why you come back here
Lyin' through your teeth
Hiding every time ain't right by me (2x)
