Solstice - If These Trees Could Talk

A restricted area Shaped like a Petunia Thank God you know your ways It's on your mind It's on all the time And I find it hard to explain What would you trade me for? While this girl's playing hula hoop Under the malicious Winter solstice Turn the lights on Find me a narrative Something positive This requiem played a few times before I heard it once So, I'm not sure On the phone "I told you" Why open your eyes to go to bed? Drive straight to the ocean And see what you won't find out Even the righteous beheaded their loved ones Now it's hard to connect But the world's unchained And soon It'll be public domain It's too hard to remain Astute But I'll always stay If you're detained With you I'll wash my hands Until it rains Through you Keeping the lights on Obliged to the bygones Thank God you know your ways If this time it's true Why bother reeling you? All this fine jewelry Look at this diamond shaped out of glass I'll try to make this Ruby shine nice I'm trying to make a living Is that something that you don't mind Fine Did you ever think it could have been in our lifetime? So, give me a ride home Find me a narrative Something positive This requiem played a few times before I heard it twice So, I'm not sure On the phone "I told you" Why open your eyes to go to bed? Drive straight to the ocean Let's see what you won't find out Cover you eyes for Winter Solstice? Now it's hard to connect But the world's unchained And soon It'll be public domain It's too hard to remain Astute But I will stay If you're detained With you I'll wash my hands Until it rains Through you

I've been smokin' Mary Jane Been seeing shapes up in my head Of places that I've always seen and memories that never left Oh, they never left And oh, no, I've been gone for quite some time And I know that I just keep it in the back of my mind And as the moss clears up my lungs when I'm back home Oh, I'm reminded of how Oh, how I miss her, sitting out by the river Listening as the trees talk, all behind my back (yeah) Oh, I think I'll stay wherever the wind blows (blows) Let it come when I don't know, 'cause I don't know myself Anymore (Ooh, ooh, ooh) I'm just tryna to find myself (Ah-ooh, ooh, ooh) a little more And as I hook out on the waves I see white sails runnin' in the craze through the forest I'm trying to make proud of my name 'Cause I still don't have the strength to go back to my dad's grave And tell him everything, oh Oh, how I miss her, sitting out by the river Listening as the trees talk all behind my back (yeah) Oh, I think I'll stay wherever the wind blows Let it come when I don't know 'cause I don't know myself Anymore (Ah-ooh) hey, (ooh, ooh) I'm just tryna find myself (Ah-ooh) hey, (ooh, ooh) a little more Don't think that I could forget what you say You thought that I couldn't save you, but you can't get back the past 'Cause once it's left, it's left in flames and I'm too used to burnin' down (Oh-ooh, ooh, ooh) but now you're gone Oh, how I miss her, sitting out by the river Listening as the trees talk, all behind my back (yeah) Oh, I think I'll stay wherever the wind blows Let it come when I don't know 'cause I don't know myself Anymore

Been about three days and I'm comin' back I'm about four minutes from a heart attack And I think you make me a maniac But you don't know, oh Two years and we in between But we both been here since we 17 Here we go, fist fight in a limousine But they don't know And we both hope there's something But we bo-both keep fronting And it's a closed discussion And I'm thinking, "Damn, if these walls could talk" (oh-oh-oh) Well, they'd be like (oh-oh-oh) "Shit is crazy, right?" (Oh-oh-oh) I ain't your baby no more Been about two weeks since you went away I'm about halfway through a Cabernet There I go, I'm wastin' a Saturday Sittin' at home Told my new roommate not to let you in But you're so damn good with a bobby pin Now you gon' play me like a violin Hittin' these notes And we both hope there's something But we bo-both keep fronting And it's a closed discussion And I'm thinking, "Damn, if these walls could talk" (oh-oh-oh) Well, they'd be like (oh-oh-oh) "Shit is crazy, right?" (Oh-oh-oh) I ain't your baby no more (oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh) Hey! (Oh-oh-oh) No more (oh-oh-oh) I ain't your baby no more

I watched you hide the pain too many times Much too often you don't say what's in your heart But you don't have to say it's over, I can see it in your eyes 'Cause if tears could talk, you just said goodbye Without a word, you took our picture from the wall And your dresses from the closet down the hall When I tried to talk it over, you just turned away and cried But if tears could talk, you just said goodbye And if mirrors spoke, they'd tell me I'm a fool For never loving you the way I wanted to And if silence says it all, I guess it means our love has died And if tears could talk, you just said goodbye And if mirrors spoke, they'd tell me I'm a fool For never loving you the way I wanted to And if silence says it all, I guess it means our love has died And if tears could talk, you just said goodbye Oh, if tears could talk, you just said goodbye

21 gauge, old Ford, buckshot floorboard, don't ask Fence post, door dent, let's just leave it at that It's got dirt on me, yeah I'd be up a tree If my truck could talk, I'd have to yank out all the wires Pour on the gas, set it on fire, anything to shut it up It's been good to me, but it knows too much, he'd sing it all I'd have to find a riverbank and roll it off If my truck could talk Those two headlights, looked in her eyes, how she danced Moonlit truck bed, two kids, enough said, yeah man All that went on, goes on my own It can go on, and on, and on If my truck could talk, I'd have to yank out all the wires Pour on the gas, set it on fire, anything to shut it up It's been good to me, but it knows too much, he'd sing it all I'd have to find a riverbank and roll it off If my truck could talk If my truck could talk, I couldn't deny a word it said I'd just smile and shake my head, yeah It's been good to me, but it knows too much, he'd sing it all I'd have to find a riverbank and roll it off If my truck could talk, if my truck could talk If my truck could talk
