Josh Barham - I Visited Yesterday.

I could have sworn that house was breathing
And you could have warned me not to stay
But the chemicals in the paint left a residue

The lights been shut off for a year now
The smell of mildews all that's new
And the linoleum has seen better shoes

And I dreamed
About
The walls last night
And the floor as I stood
Told me
You better move on while you can

Well you could say that trucks what raised me
On busted air and worn down tires
But the tracks it left always seemed to run for miles

Battery's been dead for a while now
Brakes haven't worked since before
We left it parked, to sit alone in the dark and ignore

But at night
Sometimes, I hear
It hum on down the road
Driving just to search
For somewhere new to go
With memories in tow

Well those plots they keep on filling
Added more but that's nothing new
It used to be a field, now it's the only place I can come to see you

Dirts been settled four years now
Not even the grass can say it's new
And the trinkets all have faded with the pictures and lettering too

But every time
I glance around and hope
I'll see you cross that hill
It's the wonderings of a child
To stubborn to reconcile
But too old to rebuild
