Grandeur

In the house up on the hill
With the dishes in the sink
My rings on the windowsill, I woke up just to think
I turned the radio on, like a ghost in the fog
I heard a voice come on and listened to it talk
'Til the sun turned the room into gold flames
From a time machine back east
To the dark when you would lay me down to sleep
Oh, my pillow sinking deeper
You never were a sleeper, you never were a keeper
You climbed out of the basement, got a leg up
Now reach back, don't forget to lift me up
You climbed out of the basement, got a leg up
Now reach back, don't forget to lift me up
You said it's all gonna feel too small
Because we were never really meant to stay
You said remember it will all turn gold
And I will never go away
You said it's all gonna feel too small
Because we were never really meant to stay
You said it's all gonna turn to gold
And I will never go away
We were always on our way to something grander
Now I run around town looking for an answer
In the gold flames from a time machine back east
To the dark when you would lay me down to sleep
Oh, my pillow sinking deeper, you never were a sleeper
You never were a sleeper
You climbed out of the basement, got a leg up
Now reach back, don't forget to lift me up
