You point to the trail where the blossoms have fallen But all I can see is the pollen fucking me up Everything moves too fast but I've Been doing the same thing a thousand times over But I'm brought to my knees by the clover And it feels like it's just the pollen Blowing in the wind Growing back again Through the pouring rain I have said in vain Ayy I could get ahead You know, you know I could get ahead I could get ahead You know, you know I could get ahead We follow the trail where the blossoms have fallen But all I can think of is the pollen fucking me up Everything moves too fast, oh, I Don't know when my body became so fragile Even a spring rain is too much to handle And it feels like it's just the pollen Raining from the trees Carpeting the streets Through the pouring rain I have said in vain I could get ahead You know, you know I could get ahead I could get ahead You know, you know I could get ahead Baby, you and I We go cruising over highways Your hand on my thigh I got one hand out the window You and I check out the sky We go cruising over highways Your hand on my thigh I got one hand out the window Baby, you and I We go cruising over highways Baby, check out the sky I got one hand out the window Your hand on my thigh I got one hand out the window I got one hand out the window

There is a river that runs through the country My lover's on the other side But gold and gunpowder, grease and the governing Brought the bridge down in blood and fire I hear the Niger is bound to another Where they see eye to eye So if you find I got lost in Lokoja I'm learning to make them mine Yinka I'll cross the line We love Love is the cousin of war We're dust Caught in our halves of the sun Maybe we'll mix if we bleed In the water and salt and fire In the water and salt and fire

Trembling knees I always dream about a deadly earthquake That shakes the state, smoke and flames Always make it oh, so hard to speak and see, I can't escape Wait for me, I'm so afraid But you always seem so secure oh and oh so sure I'm so sorry but everything I keep close to me runs away Oh, such a shame I'll hide amongst the trees And breathe so quietly until the sun comes out Until the morning comes, so many things scare me Like her shadows dance amongst the trees I've got the skin and bones to stand and say So many things to you, oh to you Oh, but I lack the guts to hold the weight And keep my blood so clam, so calm Trembling knees I always dream about a deadly earthquake That shakes the state, smoke and flames Always make it oh, so hard to speak and see, I can't escape I'll hide amongst the trees And breathe so quietly until the sun comes out Until the morning comes, so many things scare me Like her shadows dance amongst the trees And when the ground all breaks, I'll just run away I'm sorry I still haven't changed I'll trade my veins for your nerves Maybe then I'll stay strong Wait for me, I'm so afraid But you always seem so secure oh and oh so sure I'm so sorry but everything I keep close to me runs away Oh, such a shame Trembling knees I always dream about a deadly earthquake That shakes the state, smoke and flames Always make it oh, so hard to speak and see, I can't escape

Everyone's alive but ill Let's take deep breaths And lock the doors so no one Yeah so no one has to know I can say I'm doing well As long as, As long as I can see the room from the grave yard shift she turns I was too ashamed yeah I was too ashamed I was just too weak to save her But she doesn't care No! she doesn't care Please let me take your pain away for one day Everyone's alive and well Yea we're doing fine As long as there's no time to cry We're healthy, yea we're healthy still I'm sorry I can't save you from evenings you spent weeping Behind the doors where no one has to know I was too ashamed yeah I was too ashamed I was just too weak to save her But she doesn't care No! she doesn't care Please let me take your pain away for one day Everybody's doing fine Yea we can stay healthy as long as there's no time to cry I was hoping, I was dreaming That we could someday change

Believe me, I believe everything you say Even if you claimed you heard a ghost sing songs I think I know what you're doing when I'm away But believe me I'll believe they're simple mistakes I've been worn away by birthday memories and galleries Of pictures in my head of you when I'm away Maybe we could make this space to talk about it Forget about it for now, it seems so hard to do And there's a constant pain in my head caused by sights I'd rather forget I hope this time it will fade away I've been worn away by birthday memories and galleries Of pictures in my head of you when I'm away I'd do anything to keep this fear from flowing through my veins, oh I'd stay awake and fret just for you I'd stay awake and fret just for you [x4]

200 miles away from home. 200 miles beneath this lake is where my heart belongs, but you don't care at all. You wouldn't even smile if I were screaming as the water filled my lungs. You demand to be chased for your love. My desperate heart is far too weak to run for you this long. But you don't care at all. There's nothing I can do to draw you close to me. Can you take this silence like a pill so I can breathe again? I've been trying to ignore the best parts of you. I'm still hoping that I'll be with you somehow. Please be home tonight. I'll die if I don't get a chance to make this just right. I'm sorry but I can't forget about the way I feel every time you're here. What would it take for me to be with you? I swear I'd rip my heart out if you said you'd be impressed. Please be impressed. I'd go so far to please you but I bet you wouldn't care at all. Hopeless love, please leave me. This broken heart is far to weak to run for you this long. Why don't you care at all? I'm dying for a place in your heart. Can you take this silence like a pill so I can breathe again? I've been trying to ignore the best parts of you. I'm still hoping that I'll be with you somehow. Please be home tonight. I'll die if I don't get a chance to make this just right. I'm sorry but I can't forget about the way I feel every time you're here. Hopeless love, why did you carve your home in me? This broken heart is too weak to hold your weight. And now I regret the day we met. And help me forget your name.

If I find my way through the darkest of days, Will I laugh about the things that kept me awake? But if my greatest fear paints itself so crystal clear, Will I run away or will I hide? And if I don't come home tonight, Just know I tried my best to fight. Please don't think I plan to lose to the night. And curse the moon so dull and bright, My heavy soul can't stand the light. It burns me straight to the bones, my bones In the desert sun I watched my nerves come undone. One by one my strings they tangled into knots. And ever since that day, deep in Santa Fe. I've learned to hate myself for giving everything away. And if I don't come home tonight, Just know I tried my best to fight. Please don't think I plan to lose to the night. And curse the moon so dull and bright, My heavy soul can't stand the light. It burns me straight to the bones, my bones And if I don't come home tonight, Just know I tried my best to fight. Please don't think I plan to lose to the night. And curse the moon so dull and bright, My heavy soul can't stand the light. It burns me straight to the bones, my bones

Please Tell me how you lift these heavy bricks And how you built this path for me to walk on Carve yourself in stones With the strength of all convinced But I know your skin is still as thin as mine What does it take to believe In all the things you believe? And maybe I need to listen more carefully I finally know How you stand against the worst there is You enjoy coffee and Debussy I can't believe the calmness in your bones After everything And when she dreams She sees herself in her Sunday dress Humming simple melodies She's known since she was only three What does it take to believe In all the things you believe? And maybe I need to listen more carefully I finally know How you stand against the worst there is I finally found The strength you've tried to tell me about Oh, even when the sky is crashing down You, you locked your knees and stood up straight You, are the strength inside my veins Oh, I want to feel the strength you know And what does it take to believe In all the things you believe? Maybe I need to listen more carefully
