Rejects in the Attic

I've been hanging out with the rejects in the attic
Can't get out of my head the way you left
I've got a sense of belonging but what does it matter
And winter's on its way here to collect

I was born on the outskirts of a dream
My daddy was a miner of almost everything
I've been busting stones
Too proud to go back home
Admit that all my digging was in vain

But don't we talk different than we did
Am I more quiet than I've been
Don't you look brighter than the moon
Don't I look different without you
Don't I look different without you

I'm taking rain like an appaloosa hoofprint
And you know I'm drinking sunlight all day long
I'm opened up just like a dogwood flower
And winter's on its way here to collect

But don't we talk different than we did
Am I more quiet than I've been
Don't you look brighter than the moon
Don't I look different without you
Don't I look different without you

I was taken on the outskirts of a dream
I have been a miner of almost anything
Now I'll stop busting stones
I have to go back home
Admit that all my digging was in vain

But don't we talk different than we did
Am I more quiet than I've been
Don't you look brighter than the moon
Don't I look different without you
Don't I look different

Winter's on its way here to collect (Don't I look, don't I look)
Winter's on its way here to collect (Don't I look, don't I look)
Winter's on its way here to collect (Don't I look, don't I look)
Winter's on its way here to collect (Don't I look, don't I look)

Winter's on its way here without you
Winter's on its way here without you
