Linger
The living room is filled with trinkets and curios
But there's one portrait missing from the shelf
I know it must be in here somewhere
She worries, so it's put away again
A familiar song is playing on the radio
The soundtrack to a very sad time
Not a bad song, but I always try to turn it off
It returns every once in a while
She says I can never dig deep enough
To bury the painful parts
When they surface, just let them out
I'm right here she says, but still
They linger
Out for a ride, no destination
Just a little time to kill
Soon I'll be rolling down a familiar street
No escape on the hamster wheel
Reading a good book, or watching a show
Just sitting on the couch all alone
No magic buttons to turn it off
It returns every once in a while
She says I can never dig deep enough
To bury the painful parts
When they surface, just let them out
I'm right here she says, but still
They linger
But there's one portrait missing from the shelf
I know it must be in here somewhere
She worries, so it's put away again
A familiar song is playing on the radio
The soundtrack to a very sad time
Not a bad song, but I always try to turn it off
It returns every once in a while
She says I can never dig deep enough
To bury the painful parts
When they surface, just let them out
I'm right here she says, but still
They linger
Out for a ride, no destination
Just a little time to kill
Soon I'll be rolling down a familiar street
No escape on the hamster wheel
Reading a good book, or watching a show
Just sitting on the couch all alone
No magic buttons to turn it off
It returns every once in a while
She says I can never dig deep enough
To bury the painful parts
When they surface, just let them out
I'm right here she says, but still
They linger
