For Sale Sign Lyrics

[Verse 1: Judah Mayowa, Judah Mayowa & Cinya Khan]
I used to see you in the garden
Through the window of a TV room
I used to wake up
To your engine hummin'

[Verse 2: Cinya Khan]
You'd leave a light on in the attic
I could see it from my room
And I used to wonder
What the rest of your house looked like

[Pre-Chorus: Lizzy McAlpine & Maya Rae, Tiny Habits & Lizzy McAlpine]
And if you ever let anyone else inside

[Chorus: Cinya Khan & Judah Mayowa]
There's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I think you were one of them

[Post-Chorus: Tiny Habits & Lizzy McAlpine]
Mm-mm

[Verse 3: Maya Rae, Maya Rae & Judah Mayowa]
Had my first heartbreak back in high school
You saw me crying in the driveway
Thе look on your face said
You had had one too (Mm-mm)
[Pre-Chorus: Maya Rae & Lizzy McAlpine]
I had always been so curious about you (About you)

[Chorus: Tiny Habits & Lizzy McAlpine]
Therе's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I think you were one of them
There's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I swore you were one of them

[Verse 4: Lizzy McAlpine, Tiny Habits & Lizzy McAlpine, Judah Mayowa]
I think a lot
About all the people everyone forgot
Letters on stones

Are you better off gone
When you're leaving nobody behind? (Oh)

[Verse 5: Lizzy McAlpine & Tiny Habits]
I hope to God you got let off easy
And that there's someone (Oh)
Out there just waiting for you to arrive
I look at the sky sometimes
And think about endings

[Chorus: Tiny Habits & Lizzy McAlpine]
There's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I think you were one of them
There's a lot of
People I thought would live
Live forever
I swore you were one of them

[Outro: Tiny Habits & Lizzy McAlpine]
Now nobody's tending to the garden
All the flowers died
They tore down the fence and
They put up a For Sale sign
