WHEN EVERY LITTLE THING
YOU OWN IS LOOKING BACK
AT YOU AND STARTS TO MEAN
LESS THAN IT EVER DID

ON EVERY ON EVERY INCH OF STONE
SKIN AND CLOTH MADE TO LEAVE YOU

HERE YOU ARE YOU ARE BREATHING LIFE INTO
GHOSTS UNDER ROCKS LIKE NOTES FOUND
IN POCKET COATS OF YOU FATHERS
LOST AND FORGOTTEN
ALL ALL ALL YOUR SOAKING WET DREAMS
YOU'VE SPENT THEM
YOU HAVE GONE AND DREAMT THEM
DRY, NOW YOU ASK YOUR BABIES WHY, WHY WHY

WE'RE GRIPPING SEATS AND PLOTS
PLEADING TO HONORED LOTS
TO GIVE US THIS MUCH MORE
SAFE FROM A CUTTING SHEAR

ON EVERY, ON EVERY INCH OF STONE
SKIN AND CLOTH, MADE TO LEAVE YOU

HERE YOU ARE YOU ARE BREATHING LIFE INTO
GHOSTS UNDER ROCKS LIKE NOTES FOUND
IN POCKET COATS OF YOUR FATHERS
LOST AND FORGOTTEN
ALL ALL ALL YOUR SOAKING WET DREAMS
YOU'VE SPENT THEM
YOU HAVE GONE AND DREAMT THEM
DRY, NOW YOU ASK YOUR BABIES WHY, WHY WHY

WELL IF YOU CAN'T DECIDE
YOU MOVE YOU EITHER WEEP OR MOAN
YOU WASTE A YEAR TO MULL THIS THROUGH
ANYWAY YOU WANTED TO
OH BUT YOU COULD HAVE HAD
TURN IT INTO BROKEN GOOD
TAKEN OFF THE SIDE OF IT
A CUT UP AND A PARASOL
A PAIR OF THEM YOU FOUND ALONG
MAYBE NEVER TO AGAIN
AS IF IT NEVER WAS AT ALL
LIFTING YOU UP AS AN OFFER
UP AS AN OFFER

HERE YOU ARE YOU ARE BREATHING LIFE INTO
GHOSTS UNDER ROCKS LIKE NOTES FOUND
IN POCKET COATS OF YOUR FATHERS
LOST AND FORGOTTEN
ALL ALL ALL YOUR SOAKING WET DREAMS
YOU'VE SPENT THEM
YOU HAVE GONE AND DREAMT THEM
DRY, NOW YOU ASK YOUR BABIES WHY, WHY WHY

Quickly becoming my favorite band.

[christy8907]

[tredogg103]

I'm curious about the lyrics because they don't completely sounds like the lyric sites have them. Anything's possible but does anyone have a definitive set of lyrics... maybe released by the band?

[christy8907]

the lyrics i have on the description are the official lyrics from their album insert

[louloui59]

To the two questions below: you have been under every inch of stone like ghosts under rocks. And to the other question, the album in it's entirety was about coping with the loss of their original drummer who was found dead, intoxicated, and under rocks near a creek. This song in my opinion has a lot to do with the death of him, trying to understand what happened in a very vague way, and choosing to move own afterall dying is fine. Very powerful song.

[lily1235]
