Lyrics

(Intro)
Mornin' comes, sun through the blinds
Another day, same old grinds
He calls her name like she ain't got her own
She just moves quiet 'round that home
Yeah,
'round that home she built for him, see?
Don't think he knows what she means to me
(Hook/Refrain)
And this love I got, it's got me sideways
Watchin' her live in them sideways days
In that pretty cage he don't understand
Just a fragile thing in the palm of his hand
(Verse 2)
Fixes his coffee just how he likes
Walks on eggshells day and through the nights
And I see that look deep down in her soul
Like a little fire he's tryin' to make cold
Yeah, that little fire, I see it glowin'
But she hides it good where the hurt ain't showin'
(Hook/Refrain)
And this love I got, yeah, it's got me sideways
Watchin' her live in them sideways days
In that pretty cage he don't understand
Just a fragile thing in the palm of his hand
(Bridge/Spoken-ish section)
Sometimes... I just wanna scream, you know?
Tell her...
"Girl, you gotta go.
"
But it ain't my place, ain't my story to tell
Just watchin' her live in this custom-made hell
And his friends come 'round, he's the king, he's the man
She just smiles that smile, part of his plan, yeah...
(Instrumental Break)
(Verse 3)
Heard he's been runnin' all over town
She don't say nothin'
, just keeps her head down
Servin' him dinner like nothin's wrong
How long can she sing that same sad song?
That same sad song every single night
Underneath the surface, nothin' feels right
(Hook/Refrain)
And this love I got, man, it's got me sideways
Watchin' her live through these sideways days
In that pretty cage he'll never understand
Just my fragile bird in the palm of his hand
(Outro)
Sideways, yeah
For her, always
In that cage, her pretty cage

[Verse 2]
Behind the couch
Beneath the bed
I found some crumbs
But not your thread
A mystery unsolved
It’s in my head

[Prechorus]
Did you run away
Start a new life
Or get eaten by the washer’s strife

[Chorus]
Oh missing sock
Where did you go
You left me here
With this lonesome toe
One foot warm
The other cold
Oh missing sock
Your story’s untold

[Bridge]
Are you in the land where odd socks meet
Dancing together with mismatched feet
Living wild
Free from pairs
In a world where no one cares
