A Complete List of Fears Ages 5-28 (Aprox) - The Yellow Dress

A Complete List of Fears Ages 5-28 (Aprox) Lyrics

Here's a complete list of everything I've ever been afraid of
From the age of five, to, oh, let's say just the other day
Maybe things I've mis-remembered, maybe things I've just forgot
But as far as I can figure, this is pretty much the lot
Make of it what you will, make of it what you will
'Cause it's birds and heights and movie credits
Crowds and puppets, dying in a fire
Being washed right out to sea, losing all of my front teeth
Being buried half alive, bugs that burrow deep inside
Wild dogs and things like that, domesticated mice and rats
Not all of them, just their feet
Or that my whole life could be sleep
Ferris wheels and certain blues (glues?)
Oh, but mainly losing you
These days, mainly losing you
Here's a picture of the house I'd like to build for us someday

This may seem unrealistic, I'm not very good with my hands
If we had to, we could buy it, or keep running like we do
Borrow money from our parents, pool our money, me and you
All we need is four walls to hold us, and a roof to keep us dry
A bed big enough to sleep in 'cause I roll around at night
Keep us sheltered from the darkness and the things that lurk outside
And this growing sense of distance that keeps building in my mind
Keep us safe from
Birds and heights and movie credits
Crowds and puppets, dying in a fire
Being washed right out to sea, losing all of my front teeth
Being buried half alive, bugs that burrow deep inside
Wild dogs and things like that, domesticated mice and rats
Not all of them, just their feet
Or that my whole life could be sleep
Ferris wheels and certain blues
Oh, but mainly losing you
These days, mainly losing you
These days, mainly losing you
But if I should fall, I know, I know, we'll just keep reaching after all
Keep on stretching towards the light and keep on staying up all night
And as we reach the end we'll say "There's gotta be another day"
Keep on reaching towards the light and keep on staying up all night
And as we reach the end we'll say "There's gotta be another day"
And it's birds and heights and movie credits
Crowds and puppets, dying in a fire
Being washed right out to sea, losing all of my front teeth
Being buried half alive, bugs that burrow deep inside
Wild dogs and things like that, domesticated mice and rats
Not all of them, just their feet
Or that my whole life could be sleep
Ferris wheels and certain blues
Oh, but mainly losing you
These days, mainly losing you
These days, mainly losing you
And it's birds and heights and movie credits
