(Verse)
|
There were days from last week I couldn't quite complete
|
Skipped ahead to the next afternoon
|
Swept through the sheets, slept in my shoes
|
Hung around with a house of balloons
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Keep the speed steady, hold the wheel straight
|
We scratch and we scrape, we're scared then we're brave.
|
The kids on the corner making eyes at the cars
|
If you want to saved, all it takes is a wave
|
|
(Verse)
|
There were kids at the car wash that said they could get it
|
Gave them half but they never came back
|
Drove by so slowly, it felt like we're floating
|
An inflatable raft
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Our bodies are stoplights, our minds are the streets
|
We scratch and we scrape, we're scared then we're brave
|
The kids on the corner making eyes at the cars
|
And if you wanna to saved all it takes is a wave
|
|
(Verse)
|
Sarah, I still think that you are so beautiful
|
I'm sorry that you don't feel the same way as me
|
We spent so much time in this town driving slowly
|
We spent so much money on things that didn't stay
|
|
(Verse)
|
So call for a taxi. Slide into the backseat
|
It rolls like a glass bottom boat
|
The kids on the corner when they reach out the window
|
Their arms look like limbs from an oak
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Keep the speed steady. Hold the wheel straight
|
I swear I feel each little sway.
|
Our minds are the windows. Our bodies are screens
|
We scratch and we scrape and we dream
|
|
(Interlude)
|
Dream of the limbs of the trees
|
We dream of the views from the boats
|
Of mountains all covered in oaks
|
And we hope
|
As we hang from the limbs of the trees
|
We cling to the rails of the boats
|
The mountains all covered in oaks
|
And we dream
|
We dream of the limbs of the trees
|
We dream of the views from the boats
|
Of mountains all covered in oaks
|
And we hope
|
As we hang from the limbs of the trees
|
We cling to the rails on the boats
|
The trees as they turn into smoke
|
The trees they turn slowly to smoke
|
