Their arms
They reach
They branch
Like they're trying to catch me
They stand so tirelessly
Outgrown the sides of roads
All mixed in gold
The summer has me...
the summer has me sold
i see the hints
Just picture it,
Craving to witness
But we blinked and missed it
Beg to the sky, long days and old nights (x2)
Here we are, rooted deep, looking up
So sun sweet...
Until the fall we lose it all...
Here we are
Thin and bare
Stuck in the stiff stare
I wait up in the air,
That makes it all fair
We stop and grow and stop and grow.
We coexist
Flourished
And sun-kissed
Anything you'd like,
Your backroad eyes
They're getting dry,
And i'm an unnatural smile
You're lost in this place, i see it in your face (x2)
Here we are, rooted deep, looking up.
So sun sweet...
Until the fall we lose it all...
Here we are
So lost in it...
YEAH!!
There's a vulture on my shoulder
The time I'm wastin'
Can't say where I've been
Hey, mind reader
Don't let me get away
Don't let me get away
(So easy)
Stranger I know so well
Don't let me get away
Don't let me get away
Blame it on the television
You... make your own love
I'm pulling, I'm pushing, I'm putting it out of my mind
We aim our arrows high
What a deal i've worked with father sky
So why don't we just quit?
Don't let me get away
Don't let me get away
(so why don't we just quit?)
Don't let me get away
I'm lost in it
There's a vulture on my shoulder
Don't let me get away
I'm lost in it
So lost in it
YEAH!!
