Don't hide the treasures you've found
In a hole in the ground
How 'bout the tree back your house
Where the owls go
(Owls go)
Or in between the attic and the basement
Somewhere where it's not dark, dark, dark, dark
Attic in a basement with a knife serrated
I'll protect you
Attic in a basement with a knife serrated
I'll protect you
Don't hide the pleasures you've found
In your rolling around
Where all the leaves have been swept
And the flowers grow
(Flowers grow)
And don't go finding a replacement
I promise I'll show heart, heart, heart, heart
Finding a replacement with a heart sedated
I'll forget you
Finding a replacement with a heart sedated
I'll forget you
Finding a replacement with a heart sedated
I'll forget you
Finding a replacement with a heart sedated
I'll forget you
And you won't make a sound
Or be nervous around
Piles of pictures so old
That it feels like it is ending
Attic in a basement with a knife serrated
I'll protect you
Attic in a basement with a knife serrated
I'll protect you
Attic in a basement with a knife serrated
I'll protect you
And you shout out loud
And you're bursting with pride
'Cause they don't let you talk
And your heart is finally mending
It's not too late now
To change your mind
The grass gets greener
When you get to the finish line
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
And you won't make a sound
Or be nervous around
Piles of pictures so old
That it feels like it is ending
It shouldn't feel like it is ending
