Back to the Ground

I'm a book on a shelf, collecting dust all by myself

But I carry all the words you wrote

Though my spine may be bent, my binding may be spent

But there ain't nothing about you, I don't know

So I know you're not the one (so I know you are not the one)

Use me up and when you're done (use me up then)

Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Though I planted the seeds, gave them everything they need

But the flowers in our window box don't grow

Little boys make their graves as the warmth inside us fades

But I still don't know shit about letting go

So I know you're not the one (so I know you are not the one)

Use me up and when you're done (you use me up then)

Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Oh-oh, oh, ooh

Oh-oh, oh, ooh

Oh-oh, oh, ooh

Oh-oh, oh, ooh

Our hearts lay still and cold (our hearts lay still and cold)

Under ice and frozen soil (under ice and frozen soil)

I can't stay here anymore (I can't stay here anymore)

So remember when I go

Just remember to give me back, give me back to the ground

Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Give me back, give me back to the ground

Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Heh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
