[Verse 1]
Drawn into the frost on the glass, was a map
Pointing to my secret hiding place
It led you to the tree with the split in its trunk
On the way into your family's yard
In that tree, you saw I'd brought the dog back to life

[Verse 2]
I watched you from the branches while you stared
From the ground, with a look I couldn't understand
So I said, "Leave me alone
If your only words are ugly ones"
And you just smiled
And said, "Come and show me how it's done"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
We dug up your old bird
And you held her to your chest
As I breathed life back into her lungs
And she blinked and flapped her wings
She sang a familiar song
Before she took to the air
And cut a path into the woods
[Bridge]
And then I cried
'Cause all my life
I had known something was off
But you just shrugged, and said, "It ain't just you"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Slipping on the pavement where we ran from the ghost
That you saw behind the cellar door
That's the way that you showed me that I wasn't quite alone
That you'd also touched the dead before
