[Verse 1]
YEmour bare feet sliding on the oCld wooden floorboards
HoGme just as you left Dit but still you're shaken
LiEmke walking into a muCseum somehow out of timeA  
ItEm's all the same except the gCirl in the hallway
WhGere she's been and wDho she will ripen into
YoEmur childhood's on the other sCide of a sprawlinAg divide too wiDde
[Chorus]
TEmake a silent breath
Hold in the chCange
Tell yourself yGou still live here
