Who put a picture in the nest
Trees along the ledge, are they in your head?
Is all you're looking for
Cradling this perfect mess, this home-made dress
Blue to gray, then back again
Your ending, your ending
Of the son she'll never have
Your ending, your ending
Is it all in your head?
Of the one she'll never have
And he never understands, that the photo in the drawer
Picturing the nest
The sight at sixteen
Once she had a dream
So you want to run, deny
Your ending, your ending
Your ending, your ending
When you're picturing the nest
What you want when you wake tonight
The sight at sixteen
So fold over what is left to be addressed
You're only half a person now
Of the ones she'll never have
Of the son she never had
You've seen what comes to those
Watch the fading paper wall
No time to sit and rest or re-address
Of the ones she'll never have
The sight at sixteen
Of the son she'll never have
Your ending, your ending
Worry when you wake tonight
Scratching at the window glass
Once she had a dream
Is it all in your head?
So you turn over, lie
All that comes to you
Once she had a dream
Creepers beat, beat, beat tonight
