lyrics

The broken roads from here to home
A family's connected bones
Was born before my body rose
Head to my toes

The atom splits and god awakes
Amazing what a pellet makes
We keep track of all our days
Day to day

I climbed to the window of my childhood room
But someone pulled the ladder out
I can stay hanging from the windowsill
Or plummet to the holy ground
Just wait, we'll get it figured out

When Michael's home
When Michael's home

The plans, the plans, the plans you make
I called her from the interstate
What would it mean to run away
Or if I stay?

All the hands, the hands it takes
To lift the one you love away
A ball of stardust in a case
With your last name

There's no such thing as ghosts, I was watching
It's a spider that woke you up
I can keep this candle burning if you need

I climbed to the window of grandma's room
Too old to pull my body in
She said, "Just you wait, just you watch that flame
The wind will blow the candle dead

When Michael's home
When Michael's home"
