Back to the Ground

I'm a book on a shelf
Collecting dust all by myself
But I carry all the words you wrote
Though my spine may be bent
My binding may be spent
But there ain't nothing about you I don't know

So I know you're not the one
Use me up and when you're done
Just give me back, give me back to the ground
Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Though I planted the seeds
Gave them everything they need
But the flowers in our window box don't grow
Little buds make their graves
As the warmth inside us fades
But I still don't know shit about letting go

So I know you're not the one
Use me up and when you're done
Just give me back, give me back to the ground
Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Our hearts lay still and cold
Under ice and frozen soil
I can't stay here anymore
So remember when I go

Just remember to give me back
Give me back to the ground
Just give me back, give me back to the ground
Give me back, give me back to the ground
Give me back, give me back to the ground
