Picket Fences

lyrics

She said "I miss you, oh I miss you, oh I miss you so"
I asked her why she left me standing all alone
She said the fire it went out so long ago
But I still feel the embers smoldering down below

She said "I love you" in a secret guarded tone
As we lay there buried deep inside the snow
And as our shielded eyes explored each others' hearts
The winter wind it made it clear, it made it clear, it made it clear
It made it clear

She said "I miss you, oh I miss you, oh I miss you so"
I asked her why she left me standing all alone
She said the fire it went out so long ago
But I still feel the embers flickering down below

And as the heat comes up to crack my swelling heart
The palpitations make it real, they make it real, they make it real

Now the street are bare, the sound has stopped,
The picket fences all burned down
The windows broke, the porch askew
The rafters fell into the living room

And if it rains, these wounds can heal
There'll be no driver at the wheel
In blinding light, a milky fog
And we will see there's no more dreams, there's no more dreams

She said "I miss you, oh I miss you, oh I miss you so"
I asked her why she left me standing all alone
She said the fire it went out so long ago
But I still feel the embers burning down below

She said "I love you" in a secret guarded tone
As we lay there buried deep inside the snow
And as our shielded eyes explored each others' hearts
The winter wind it made it clear, it made it clear, it made it clear

Now the street are bare, the sound has stopped,
The picket fences all burned down
The windows broke, the porch askew
The rafters fell into the living room

She said "I miss you, oh I miss you, oh I miss you so"
I asked her why she left me standing all alone
She said the fire it went out so long ago
But I still feel the embers raging down below

And now it blazes in a silent secret glow
Drowning out the tired sound of breaking bones
And as the heat comes up to crack my swelling heart
The palpitations make it real, they make it real, they make it real
They make it real
