[Verse 1]
Boxes on the hardwood
New keys biting in my palm
Dust ghosts in the daylight
Every hallway humming calm
Pulled the bricks by the chimney
Soot on my shaking hands
Found a letter and a necklace
Cold as coins
Heavy as sand

[Verse 2]
"Son
This is your house now"
Ink faded into brown
"I marched off in glory
Never made it back to town
There’s a girl by the station
She sells flowers by the track
She is kind
She is honest
If you love her
Love her back"

[Chorus]
Bought this house
Found a life I didn't live
Someone's dream that they never got to give
Followed words from a ghost in the walls
To the woman by the trains and the calls
And when she wore that necklace made of gold
I saw him standing in the doorway
Brave and bold
Just a shadow in the birthday candle light
Smiling big
Then gone from sight

[Verse 3]
She was counting small change
At the kiosk by the rails
Coffee steam
Crooked postcards
Red scarf whipping in the gale (hey)
I stumbled through small talk
Said
"Do you know his name?"
Her eyes went soft
Like she'd heard
An old forgotten song again

[Pre-Chorus]
We walked home past the sidings
Rusted freight and falling snow
Every step felt decided
By a man I'd never know

[Chorus]
Bought this house
Found a life I didn't live
Someone's dream that they never got to give
Followed words from a ghost in the walls
To the woman by the trains and the calls
And when she wore that necklace made of gold
I saw him standing in the doorway
Brave and bold
Just a shadow in the birthday candle light
Smiling big
Then gone from sight

[Bridge]
Her birthday in the kitchen (ooh yeah)
Ceiling paint still peeling down
Plastic plates
Cheap champagne
But our laughter shook the ground
Slid the chain around her collar
Time went tight around my chest
Then the air turned quiet
Clear
Like the world held its breath

[Bridge]
He was there
In the mirror behind her
Uniform
Crooked tie
Gentle eyes on her face
He was there
In the flicker of the fire
Like he finally made it home
To this place

[Chorus]
I bought his house
But I borrowed his love
Took his map
Traced the lines from above
Every brick
Every stair
Every door
Led me straight to the girl he adored
And when she wore that necklace made of gold
He stood behind her looking young
Fearless
Bold
Just a silhouette that blessed our little life
Smiling big
Then gone from sight

[Outro]
Now the trains keep on screaming
Through the blue and through the black
I hold her hand in the doorway
Say
"He's never coming back"
But when she turns in the low light
Chain shining on her skin
I feel him in the drywall
Whisper
"Take care of her"
Again
