"The Girl Who Never Left" lyrics

I go back to the same places each night
I could draw you a map, just to get you inside
It's the same but the hills are so much higher
And I'm always squinting in the low light

Think I haunt the home I grew up in
I'll walk the halls in white linen
And they'll give tours, just 5 a head
To see the girl who never left

If rest's for the wicked, I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till then I'll guard the front gates instead
That lead to the loneliest place I have known
We tried so hard to make it a home

Walking back from the train station at night
A little bit drunk and a little bit high
It's serene for a moment, I'm rounding the bend
I'm feeling better, I'm reaching the end

But when I put myself to bed
And when the pillow hits my head
I'm back behind the fence again
I'm still the girl who never left

If rest's for the wicked, I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till then I'll guard the front gates instead
That lead to the loneliest place I have known
We tried so hard to make it a home

When I close my eyes, I don't dream, I fly
Back to that colonial from 99
And brainstorm the ways, try as we might
To find a way out this time

If rest's for the wicked, I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till then I'll guard the front gates instead
That lead to the loneliest place I have known
We tried so hard to make it a home
