Love Among the Ruins

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The broken roads from here to home A family's connected bones Was born before my body rose Head to my toes [Verse 2] The atom splits and god awakes Amazing what a pellet makes We keep track of all our days Day to day [Chorus] 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 [Refrain] When Michael's home When Michael's home When Michael's home When Michaеl's home [Verse 3] The plans, the plans, thе plans you make I called her from the interstate What would it mean to run away Or if I stay? [Verse 4] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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" [Refrain] When Michael's home When Michael's home When Michael's home When Michael's home When Michael's home When Michael's home When Michael's home
