Empty Houses - Scarves

We watched we waited

Till we were sure they were out

In broken glass and blood, we broke into your neighbor’s house

We put on their clothes and pretended to live their lives

We fixed their clocks and paid their bills on time

We watched the world, from their windows

We watched the parks come and go

We watched the world, from their windows

We watched the television static snow

You cut your hand, when we jumped their fence

You’re still young, those cuts were meant

And every scar, a different story

You’ve got novels on your knuckles

We watched the world, from their windows

We watched the parks come and go

We watched the world, from their windows

We watched the television static snow

And I was sure you were my shadow

But when I turned around, I saw you disappear into floodlights
