Lyrics:

There’s a ring from the churchhouse
In a box on the shelf
There’s a creak from the floorboard
That connects to myself

And there’s something so strange I can hardly define
Like balancing myself where I’ve tiptoed the line
And you carried me down, and you carried me down again

I’ll always treat you careful
Although nothing remains
You always moved so slowly
Under the rain

Every face in the hallway
I can hardly recall
Every painful reminder
That you nailed to the wall

And there’s all this confusion from following you
Where I swallowed every lie and ignored what was true
And you buried me there, and you buried me there again

Drift through the room and lay down by the fire
And don’t heed what bleeds through the telephone wire
Give back the things you’ve collected and saved
I don’t think we’ll soon be the same
I don’t think we’ll soon be the same
As we’re only tumbling under the rain

And I wanted you so badly
I wanted you to be
Anything I longed for
Anything I needed

But when all these intrusions came pummeling you
I was always on your side but there’s nothing I could do
‘Cause you were tearing us down, you were wearing us down
You were daring us to drown

Now who do you think will buy back what you gave?
And who takes the fall when there’s no one to blame?
You sold me a lie, so I sent you away.

But I’ll always treat you careful
Though nothing remains
You always moved so slowly
Under the rain
