Back in my hotel
Nothin' seems the same
But it's frozen in my memory
Like the ruins of Pompei
I must have buried my heart
Underneath this road
It's stuck here on Main Street
Like this lump in my throat
And it feels like archaeology
This diggin' up the past
Unearthed another part of me
Things I never thought would last
And last and last, oh
Now here in my old high school
Where it's been a lot of years
So why am I afraid
Just to walk in here?
Hidden in these halls
Are artifacts and fragments of fear
Buried and forgotten
Thought they'd disappear
And it feels like archaeology
This diggin' up the past
Unearthed another part of me
Things I never thought would last
And last and last, oh
Now all my friends are gone
My parents moved away
This town sure grew up quickly
So the neighbors say
Now there's my old house
Just off the interstate
And a duplex in the field
Where my sisters played
And it feels like archaeology
This diggin' up the past
Unearthed another part of me
Things I never thought would last
And last and last, oh
