Good Bones

That old house talks with it's mouth full
Good bones are the only thing keeping the lights on
Sometimes I think you could lose yourself
Around every hidden corner
Till you're back where you started alone in the dark

So tie your shoes and slick your hair back
Never let 'em see you're a walking heart attack
But come on over

That picket fence is made out of paper
All the windows face out onto a wall
Every room is filled to the brim with a picture of a happier time
That you just can't seem to recall
But I know good bones lie underneath it all

Cracks in the sidewalk get stepped over
Make a mistake you break your mama's back
Sometimes I think it'd be easier
If you'd just stay there safe on the inside
We could have the world, you'd find an escape.

That picket fence is made out of paper
All the windows face out onto a wall
Every room is filled to the brim with a picture of a happier time
That you can't seem to recall
But I know good bones lie underneath it all

Underneath it all
Underneath it all
Underneath it all

That picket fence is made out of paper
All the windows face out onto a wall
Every room is filled to the brim with a picture of a happier time
That you can't seem to recall
But I know good bones lie underneath it all
Oh I know good bones lie underneath it all
Yeah, I know good bones lie underneath it all
