Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Cardboard box on the floor Dusty hinges by the door Yellowed ink and paper thin Where do I even begin? Found the box under the bed Words that Arthur never said [Verse] He lived next door for years Watering roses with his shears A nod hello across the fence Keeping life in past tense Quiet man in wool and gray Folding up his yesterday [Chorus] Oh, the secrets in the pages Written down for ages Flour dust and secret lines Reading between the signs We walk past the light Into the quiet night Everything feels right [Post-Chorus] Just a name upon a lease Hiding every missing piece Just a name upon a lease Hiding every missing piece [Verse] "Salt the water, watch it boil" "Found a penny in the soil" Next to bread and yeast and rye "Saw a bluebird in the sky" Then a smudge of coffee stain "Wish I caught that midnight train" [Pre-Chorus] The ink is fading now I wonder why and how He kept it all inside With nowhere left to hide [Chorus] Oh, the secrets in the pages Written down for ages Flour dust and secret lines Reading between the signs We walk past the light Into the quiet night Everything feels right [Bridge] We are maps we never draw Full of wonder, full of flaw Now I hold his heavy heart Tearing all the quiet apart The truth is finally through In the things he never knew [Instrumental] [Verse] Peach cobbler, three cups sweet "Walking down a rainy street" Simple steps for lemon cake "One more chance for my sake" In the kitchen, late at night Working by a single light [Chorus] Oh, the secrets in the pages Written down for ages Flour dust and secret lines Reading between the signs We walk past the light Into the quiet night Everything feels right [Hook] Quiet wonder in the hand Stories written in the sand Just a neighbor, just a man Doing all the good he can [Outro]
