Bones In The Ground Lyrics

I'm tracing your name in the dust on my shelf

As they flock to church, I can still hear the bells

But I'm too scared to go, because I can't face the truth

Know you'd laugh at my shirt, because I'm laughing too

You left me here between heaven and hell

I should have seen the signs, I'm hearing sirens all the time

Reading between the lines

You said,

I've been running red lights

I've been blowing through the stop signs

In the middle of the night

Crossing fingers,

Crossing state lines

I need to slow it down, before I'm just some bones in the ground

They say that this will get better with time

I'm running races, your shoes are untied

There's light in the dark, you'll find your way

"Keep your head up", what a dumb thing to say

But I'm still leaving flowers on top of your grave

I should have seen the signs, I'm hearing sirens all the time

Reading between the lines

You said,

I've been running red lights

I've been blowing through the stop signs

In the middle of the night

Crossing fingers,

Crossing state lines

I need to slow it down, before I'm just some bones in the ground

Spit it out now

Just say the word, I'll turn around

Your folks are still proud

They're looking up, you're looking down

You've been running red lights

You've been blowing through the stop signs

In the middle of the night

Crossing fingers,

Crossing state lines

You need to slow it down, before I'm just some bones

I've been running red lights

I've been blowing through the stop signs

In the middle of the night

Crossing fingers,

Crossing state lines

I need to slow it down, before I'm just some bones in the ground
