Diggin' Up Bones
Resurrecting Memories: Diggin' Up Bones Meaning
Lyrics
Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
Last night, I retrieved your picture from our old dresser drawer.
I set it on the table and I talked to it till four
I placed the picture on the table and spoke to it until 4 AM.
I read some old love letters right up to the break of dawn
I read old love letters until the early morning hours.
Yeah, I've been sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
Currently, I'm alone, reflecting on past memories.
Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings
I examined our wedding rings found in the jewelry.
I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling
I wore my ring and tossed yours across the room in our now empty home.
Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
In this desolate bedroom of our recently shattered home.
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
Tonight, I'm alone, contemplating the past.
I'm diggin' up bones, I'm diggin' up bones,
I am revisiting memories and emotions associated with the past.
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm bringing up things that are better left untouched.
And I'm resurrecting mem'ries of a love that's dead and gone
I'm recalling and reviving memories of a love that has ended.
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
Currently, I'm alone, immersed in these thoughts.
And I went through the closet and I found some things in there,
I explored the closet and found items, like lingerie I bought for you.
Like that pretty lingerie that I bought you to wear
Remembering how beautiful you looked when you wore it.
And I recalled how good you looked each time you had it on
Reflecting on the past when you wore that lingerie.
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
Presently, I'm alone, thinking about these memories.
I'm diggin' up bones, I'm diggin' up bones,
Recalling and confronting memories and emotions from the past.
Exhuming things that's better left alone
Bringing up things that are better left undisturbed.
And I'm resurrecting mem'ries of a love that's dead and gone
Resurrecting memories of a love that has ended.
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
Tonight, I'm alone, immersed in the process of recalling memories.
