The Dirt by Erica Freas Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The clouds came 'cause you were cold
And leaned into the wind to let it sway your bones
And how your ribcage took the weight of all that ache
And your heart got so damn heavy
So dull and heavy
[Verse 2]
You could close the windows 'cause that looks strong
Or lean into the panes and let the rains fall on you
And you chose so fast
How did you move so fast with a heart so heavy?
So dull and heavy
[Chorus]
Well remember how you told her you were sleeping below the dirt
'Cause somebody told you just how bad they'd make you hurt?
They never said that but you felt it, so that was what you heard
Kendra, can we come home now?
How we live with what we learn
[Verse 3]
The coast that caught you kept you moving along
And you grew calm and you let your hair grow long
And then you took up swimming
So now you're fuckin' swimming
Yeah baby, keep on swimming, oh whoa oh
[Bridge]
Forever now
Find your tether now
Then write it down, write it down, write it down
Put your feet back above the ground
[Chorus]
Well remember how you told her you were sleeping below the dirt
'Cause nobody told you just how badly this would hurt?
Yeah they said that you could hear it, for whatever that's worth
Kendra, can we come home now?
Can we hang up the phone now?
Girl, are you coming home now?
How we live with what we learn
The clouds came 'cause you were cold
And leaned into the wind to let it sway your bones
And how your ribcage took the weight of all that ache
And your heart got so damn heavy
So dull and heavy
[Verse 2]
You could close the windows 'cause that looks strong
Or lean into the panes and let the rains fall on you
And you chose so fast
How did you move so fast with a heart so heavy?
So dull and heavy
[Chorus]
Well remember how you told her you were sleeping below the dirt
'Cause somebody told you just how bad they'd make you hurt?
They never said that but you felt it, so that was what you heard
Kendra, can we come home now?
How we live with what we learn
[Verse 3]
The coast that caught you kept you moving along
And you grew calm and you let your hair grow long
And then you took up swimming
So now you're fuckin' swimming
Yeah baby, keep on swimming, oh whoa oh
[Bridge]
Forever now
Find your tether now
Then write it down, write it down, write it down
Put your feet back above the ground
[Chorus]
Well remember how you told her you were sleeping below the dirt
'Cause nobody told you just how badly this would hurt?
Yeah they said that you could hear it, for whatever that's worth
Kendra, can we come home now?
Can we hang up the phone now?
Girl, are you coming home now?
How we live with what we learn
