Lilacs Lyrics

This house looks a little bit different now doesn't it

When the Lights are on and everybody's home

And the street signs out here don't shine like they used to

Do they darling?

I suppose I'm spending too much time alone

And I've always had a problem moving forward

When mom and dad said Wilbur had to go

They said you'll understand it someday when you are older

were all afraid of things that we don't know

And I'm dealing with the darkness on my own

'Cause everyone keeps saying I'm alright

And I'm terrified of everything I don't know-oh, dear

Are there still Lilacs in your window?

VHS tapes were stacked up in the closet

Top 20 playing on the radio

And that dog with the slanted face somehow still haunts me

She's a ghost and I know that she chose me

She follows me home

And I'm dealing with the darkness on my own

'Cause everyone keeps saying I'm alright

I'm terrified of everything I don't know

Are there still Lilacs in your window?

And I'm dealing with the darkness on my own

'Cause everyone keeps saying I'm alright

And I'm not sure I can stand it any longer

But it's late and the days are getting shorter

Guess I'm older now
