Star Locket Song

I'm alone for the week so I'll go for a walk Past community libraries and people with gardens Planting roots and pulling up their weeds Feeling tied the past, water towers on hills Sneaking up to the top when we had time to kill We always wondered if Carole still loves Bill Carry all my old friends In a heart-shaped locket Keep em tied around my neck Even though they hold me back and I'm blowing kisses Driving down dead ends Keep your photo on the fridge Knowing I won't talk to you again Counting minutes and hours, till I'm fully obsessed Never have enough time for my scarcity complex Every moment feels gone before it leaves me Purple houses, no one's home Fancy parties, empty hosts Walking home in the pouring rain Cowboy boots made me miss my train Carry all my old friends In a heart-shaped locket Keep em tied around my neck Even though they hold me back, and I'm blowing kisses Like I'm not haunted Every moment that I miss Even ones I wish I could forget Carry all my old friends In a heart-shaped locket Keep em tied around my neck Even though they hold me back, and Tying up my loose ends Into perfect ribbons Growing older is a gift Letting go is just a part of it The hard part is that time, it passes The best part is that time, it passes The hard part is it never lasts But the best part is just that you had it The hard part is it never lasts But the best part is just that you had it

In love, but alone Out, but in my head I'm still at home Well, then, how come all my troubles Turn into thought bubbles And I'm a cartoon of myself now in the screen Well, if mom's asleep, don't wake her I was just meeting my maker And letting him take me out for a drink Oh, you've gotta be in two places just to be Modern lovers find that easy Well, then, how come all my candor Just comes across as grandeur? And I'm a locket with my own face in the frame I didn't mean to keep you waiting Was laying in bed with Satan Now all my nightmares are in high chairs and laughing They're laughing with me Well, then, how come all my candor Just comes across as jokes? And I'm a cartoon (yeah) I'm a locket (yeah) I'm a locket (yeah) I'm a locket (yeah) I'm a locket with my own face in the frame I'm just one good look From getting right back in your brain

I live in a house with a tin roof and Every time it rains I can feel my brain it's Moving back and forth, upside-down, east west Feeling and remembering everything you do I was up last night tossing and turning Couldn't get to sleep and I slept through the morning Need to clear my head and get out of the city All alone in the jungle you'll find me Close your eyes and hear my secret Deep deep loving hear my secret Hear my secret Hear my secret Sometimes I can hear the treble below me Pounding through the floor, my body's so restless It lives in the basement below some boxes Makes me feel so strange and so thoughtless So maybe someday this roof will cave in You'll find me on the floor, looking at the stars These walls are made of brick, plated in gold But I'm still here, growing so old Close your eyes and hear my secret Deep, deep loving hear my secret Hear my secret Hear my secret Close your eyes and hear my secret Deep, deep loving hear my secret Hear my secret Hear my secret

The sun's goin' down and I just came back to You goin' out with friends You're in a dress I've never seen before, and your lipstick A deeper shade of red Your kiss goodbye don't hit quite right And neither does your alibi Yeah baby, do your thing Go on and have a good time I don't believe it You got me feeling like a pistol Whatever you say Who's in your heart shaped locket? Sittin' in the dark, tellin' myself Everything's cool I'm not the jealous type, but I'm startin' to feel like A heartbroke fool Sippin' on a half drunk pint that's startin' to Rattle up my brain Are my instincts right or am I drinkin' Myself insane? I don't believe it You got me feeling like a pistol Whatever you say Who's in your heart shaped locket? You just got home, must've lost your keys 'Cause you're sneakin' in the window You see me sittin' there, you don't say a thing 'Cause you know that I know: I don't believe it You got me feeling like a pistol Whatever you say Who's in your heart shaped locket? I don't believe it You got me feeling like a pistol Whatever you say Who's in your heart shaped locket? I don't believe it You got me feeling like a pistol Whatever you say Who's in your heart shaped locket?
