abandoned house

(album: tell me your feelings and i won't tell you mine pt. 2 - 2023)

No plans tonight, no hangouts
The market's closed for the day now
Hard to know that no one knows a thing about me
I'll see where the morning light takes me
Bike along to the smell of hot pastries
Stay out of their way, I'm a bother
Only feel at peace by the water, uh

There's a old house at the edge of the lake
Always catches my eye when I walk to my place
A dock at the end with a big metal gate
Doesn't look all that far, just a boat ride away
There's something that's strange, a mystery tempting
A mansion of stone, what a shame if it's empty
Moss on the walls and covered by trees
A view that I see in my dreams
Maybe it's dark and abandoned or crawling with mice
Or a lady of age that's barely alive
One day I'll leave home on a lonely adventure
See for myself what's inside of this treasure
Grab a bag and a flashlight
Don't wanna get caught, leave at night
Walk on the edge where it's shallow
Boots to my knees, bright yellow, yeah

No plans tonight, no hangouts
The market's closed for the day now
Hard to know that no one knows a thing about me
I'll see where the morning light takes me
Bike along to the smell of hot pastries
Stay out of their way, I'm a bother
Only feel at peace by the water
