Laura Stevenson
Journey to the Center of the Earth
[Verse 1]
A can of cola, an unfilled bathtub
For dirty bodies and storing empties
The landline's nagging
The mail is scattered on the floor
And through a keyhole of a triple bolted door
It's melodrama, it's confused chemicals
It's dirty laundry, it's empty Styrofoam
[Verse 2]
The Giants won and all the firecracker shells
Are littering the street and I don't give a shit
My shoes ran off somewhere
And I haven't even cared to organize a search
My ball of nerves, don't mistake me
I'll refuse you if you choose to track me down
[Bridge]
And don't you make me leave
Without wishing you well 'til I return
From my brief sojourn to the center of the earth
As far as I tell you, it's not as bad as all of that
And I promise not to be reckless
Oh, heart of mine, heart of mine
It's your face that brings me back every time
[Outro]
It's dirty laundry, it's empty styrofoam
