lyrics

We were streamlined like ducks,
Diving into the river.
We were slick as fuck
With an oily shimmer.
I could fly back home,
But I think that I’ll swim.
I could leave you alone,
You might end up with him.
Someday look to the sky
And you might see I.
I’ll be trying to get over you.

You’re a tree, I was wind.
I was just passing through.
I stopped for a moment
and got caught up in you.
I will carry your leaves
To the far reaching lands.
You won’t budge an inch,
and you’ll barely bend.
When the storm’s coming in
We can hum a soft song
We’ll dance and the I’ll be gone.

You got a job, so do I,
But I wanna quit.
I wanna sleep nine to five
And get out of this pit
That I dug for my self
While getting out of another.
I wish it was enough
To just have each other,
But it’s not, and we don’t.
We could, but we won’t.
I don’t want to,
But I’ll try to get over you.

If I’m a worm, I’ll sit and wait for a little bird to come carry me away
If I’m a worm, I’ll sit and wait for a little bird to come carry me away
I’m stuck in the dirt and waiting for little birds through the day
Stuck in the dirt and watching the birds fly away.
