lyrics

You spent the summer cleaning out your father’s house,
In the basement, in your home town.
Cold family bones, you were digging, digging down.

Dead quiet in the house now,
Where he raised his sons and daughter.
Vines choking up the pipes,
There’s nothing left except the bricks and mortar.

Oh, oh, baby please come up for air.
Got to let it go, go, lay it all to rest down there
You’ll never find what you’re looking for,
Down on your knees on the basement floor.
Oh, oh, baby please come up for air.

You had to open every dusty box,
But found not a sign of his life inside.
You only left with his watch that was stolen
Out of the back of my car that night.

You don’t really want to talk about it,
Babe, I tell you that’s all right with me.
I’ll come down and find you in the dark and quiet,
I’ll sit by your side and I will help you breathe.

Oh, oh, baby please come up for air.
Got to let it go, go, lay it all to rest down there
You’ll never find what you’re looking for,
Down on your knees on the basement floor.
Oh, oh, baby please come up for air.

Please come up for air.
Please come up for air.

Oh, oh, baby please come up for air.
Got to let it go, go, lay it all to rest down there
You’ll never find what you’re looking for,
Down on your knees on the basement floor.
Oh, oh, baby please come up for air.

Please come up for air.
Please come up for air.
