[Verse 1]
When I leave, will you bury me
Under the mantelpiece in my childhood home?
And I can't keep this daydream on repeat
My broken strings and all the songs I couldn't write on lonely nights

[Refrain]
I'll play them, anyway
I'll play them, anyway

[Verse 2]
Do I see the thousands look-at-me?
I'm in a memory and it feels so cozy
I see the trace, they tower over me
The shadows feed upon my sides, but in the dark, I close my eyes

[Refrain]
And play them anyway
I'll play them, anyway
And play them, anyway
I'll play them, anyway

[Outro]
When you leave
I'll keep you next to me
Under the mantelpiece
And play them, anyway
