Rats they run across the field
|
Crows rest in the tree
|
Barking madly at each other
|
Standing from the rooftop I screamed
|
Won't you bark for me?
|
As you turn your back and fly away
|
|
Caught on the fence you left behind
|
Darted to an empty room I've tried
|
Oh I've tried, oh I've tried writing
|
With nothing in return
|
|
When the wind that freed me
|
From the roots that tied me down
|
Now I need them back for comforting
|
Carvings that we left in branches
|
Scarred up on this tree
|
Lingering our thoughts you left with me
|
|
Calling the phone that you ignore
|
Slowly walking backwards from your door
|
Oh I've tried
|
Now we're done fighting
|
It's time that you return
|
|
Candle its small light inside your
|
Window that I see
|
Hoping that the light still shines for me
|
Standing on the curbside I screamed
|
Please come back
|
As you turn your back and fly away
|
|
Groundhogs digging with their claws
|
Burying their loves with dirty paws
|
Oh I've tried
|
There's no igniting
|
My head is in the dirt
|
