What Is It Saying

[Verse 1] There’s a fish in the mailbox Spitting out my name Three red shoes on the table And nobody came My phone keeps ringing backward From the bottom of a lake I fed the moon a keychain Now the whole porch shakes [Pre-Chorus] I saw a door in the mirror I saw my shadow grin The house wore my old sweater And let the cold wind in [Chorus] What is it saying? What is it saying? I keep turning it over I keep turning it over What is it saying? What is it saying? Tell me what broke the pattern Tell me what broke the pattern [Verse 2] The kettle laughed in circles At a table for one A train ran through the hallway Then forgot where it was from I found a map in the attic Drawn on a paper plate It led to seven raindrops And a locked-up date [Pre-Chorus] I saw a door in the mirror I saw my shadow grin The house wore my old sweater And let the cold wind in [Chorus] What is it saying? What is it saying? I keep turning it over I keep turning it over What is it saying? What is it saying? Tell me what broke the pattern Tell me what broke the pattern [Bridge] Every clue was a postcard From a place I wouldn’t name Every stranger in the static Kept repeating the same thing Not a curse, not a riddle Not a ghost in the wall Just the pieces of a reason I could not hear at all [Final Chorus] What is it saying? What is it saying? I keep turning it over I keep turning it over What is it saying? What is it saying? It was never a puzzle It was grief in a room full of things
