Intro:

Verse One:

You say those stars
are just illusions
That they’re
not there anymore
Even so I think
I’ll go outside
And watch them,
‘cause after all that’s what they’re for.
I go outside, that’s what they’re for.

Go.

Instrumental:

Verse Two:

I’m scared of death, I’m so afraid
Every night I sleep won’t be just sleep
So I go outside
into illusions
‘Cause they comfort me
I can’t sleep
So I go outside
They comfort me
These stars

Chorus:

I’m leaving home but I
Hope I locked the cellar door,
I’ve got this glowing garden
Below my bed, beneath the floorboards
At the end of the day
I was hoping I could say to you
That I told a story
And I did the best that I could

Instrumental:

Chorus 2:

I’m leaving home, so I
Hope I locked the cellar door,
I’ve got this glowing garden
Below my bed, beneath the floorboards
At the end of the day,
I was hoping that I could say to you
That the time we spent together
Was meaningful
At the end of the day,
I was hoping I could say it’s true
That I told a story
And I did the best that I could

Verse 3:

It’s cold and dark, I make my way
Out to the bench and I sit down,
The frogs are out this night and in their
Song I slowly drown
In their song, I slowly drown
Their song, their song

Chorus 3:

I’m leaving home, but I
Hope I locked the cellar door
I’ve got this glowing garden
Beneath my bed, below the floorboards
At the end of the day,
I was hoping that I could say to you
That the time we spent together was beautiful.  Go.
