Archaeology Songtext
von Chris Rosser

Back in my home town
Nothing seems the same
But it′s frozen in my memory
Like the ruins of Pompeii

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 digging up the past
Unearth another part of me
Things I never thought would last
And last and last

Here in my old high school
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
I thought they'd disappeared

And it feels like archaeology
This digging up the past
Unearth another part of me
Things I never thought would last
And last and last, oh

Now all my friends are gone
And my parents moved away
This town sure grew up quickly
Or so the neighbors say

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 digging up the past
Unearth another part of me
Things I never thought would last
And last and last, oh
