Remodel


I lost you in a heartbeat, is your heart still beating?
Cause I don′t hear a sound under these floorboards
Paper blue curtains you tore down in a frenzy

All our friends see is a new remodel

The dining china with the cracks down the middle
I bought superglue so no one would know
You loved that daisy wallpaper in the bathroom
I couldn't stand but I loved you, so

Standing in the foyer we′re both growing older
At least that's what the grandfather clock says
And you could be in a new kitchen painting
A sunscape somewhere in New York
And I'll be here sitting on a creaking wood floor
Counting dust flecks through the sun rays

I swear I hear singing from the walls
The echoes of your lilting laugh
Imprinted in the drywall
I oh I oh can′t leave Ohio
Cause I can′t finish this remodel
