[Intro]
[Verse]
The ladder is missing a rung
The old oak is no longer young
I pull myself up to the floor
I'm opening a ghost of a door
The roof has a leak in the corner
I'm a guest, not a lonely mourner
[Chorus]
Scrawled in a faded blue ink
More than a man ought to think
Names that I used to know well
Stories only these boards can tell
Small marks in the grain of the wood
I'm staying right where I stood
[Verse]
There’s a heart with a jagged old crack
Taking my memory right back
To a girl with a ribbon of red
And all of the words never said
We traded some baseball cards
In all of these quiet backyards
[Pre-Chorus]
The dust is a blanket of gold
Nothing here ever gets old
It’s funny how little things stay
When everything else blows away
[Chorus]
Scrawled in a faded blue ink
More than a man ought to think
Names that I used to know well
Stories only these boards can tell
Small marks in the grain of the wood
I'm staying right where I stood
[Bridge]
The harmonium hums in the breeze
Moving through all of the trees
I feel like a boy once again
Free from the world and the men
The waltz of the leaves on the ground
Is the only remaining sound
[Verse]
I didn't remember the day
We decided to just walk away
But looking at every small sign
I’m glad that this history is mine
The splinters don't sting like before
I don't need to run anymore
[Chorus]
Scrawled in a faded blue ink
More than a man ought to think
Names that I used to know well
Stories only these boards can tell
Small marks in the grain of the wood
I'm staying right where I stood
[Post-Chorus]
I'm staying right where I stood
It's all for the better and good
Small lines in a pencil lead
Things that we finally said
[Outro]
