Gravel

Gravel is falling
On times where we used to be
Still as they glisten
The new sedimentary

To take a chance on us
To take a chance on us now

Seven feet under
The places we used to stand
Toss in the gravel
It's time that we cover them

To take a chance on us
To take a chance on us now

It's hard to leave this all behind
So trust me when there's nothing left to say
A little bit of gravel makes it easier for us to put away
Those memories so steeped in yesterday
Those memories you couldn't run away

Gravel is falling
It hurts but they say it's right
Everyone tells me
Go quietly in the night

To take a chance on us
To take a chance on us now

The buildup is heavy
It's nearing the very top
I'll put down my shovel
Knowing it's time we stop

To take a chance on us
To take a chance on us now

It's hard to leave this all behind
So trust me when there's nothing left to say
A little bit of gravel makes it easier for us to put away
Those memories so steeped in yesterday
Those memories you couldn't run away
