Sycamore - trav & i

There's a place I know of in the western state Lost to any map that you can find Streets are made of cobble getting older Houses fade like coal after a fire I don't know where I'm going Somewhere I don't need to have a plan I don't know who I'm fighting now Anyone who falls across my hand Say no more, I'm gone And who is emptier than who? Still you're waiting there against the black Just to see me coming back But I don't think I'm likely to do that I'm gonna be so different if you find me You wont even realise I'm your man Slow and sure the coast will redefine me Turn me into sycamore and sand I don't know where I'm going Somewhere where the water meets the land I don't know why your troubling now Nobody can change who I now am Say no more, I'm gone And who is emptier than who? Still you're waiting there against the black Just to see me coming back But I don't think I'm likely to do that No I don't think I'm likely to do that

There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em There's blood on the seas if you map 'em Christian, if you see your papa Tell him I love him He taught me to love in the wild And fight in the gym He taught me the bottle gives birth to the cup And you won't get hurt if you just keep your hands up And stand tall Like sycamores Like sycamores Like sycamores Sycamore got to grow down to grow up Young roots toil the soil like baby's first cup And when they bend you in two And say too green for the fire When all you want to do is be a part of the fire All you want to do is be the fire part of fire Like sycamores Like sycamores Like sycamores There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em There's blood on the seas if you map 'em Christian, when I see your papa I'll tell him you love him And remember to love in the wild And fight in the gym Remember the bottle gives birth to the cup And you won't get hurt if you just keep your hands up And stand tall Like sycamores Like sycamores Like sycamores

What you want me for? What you want me for? What you want me for? What you waiting for then? What you want me for? What you want me for? What you want me for? What you waiting for then? Yeah, I don't know how you do What you do, but damn Yeah, I don't know how you do What you do, but damn Sweeter than a sycamore tree He was buzzing, buzzing Just like a bee for it He said he never met a girl Who make it euphoric He said he never met a girl like me And I don't think you're lying, I see it in your eyes You wanna compromise What you want me for? What you want me for? (Tell me what you want) What you want me for? What you waiting for then? (Tell me what you want) What you want me for? What you want me for? (Tell me what you want) What you want me for? What you waiting for then?

Baby please It's the way you speak Forming words so easily And I think of the way you think It keeps me from falling asleep In that grave I call a bed Until you called me up and said "I haven't stopped crying My father's been drinking I need a place to stay I don't want to be here He's saying the words that He promised he would never say That liquid he consumes Makes him speak the truth" And I said "No, it's not that at all It's that bottle of lies for a troubled heart It's standing on the edge of a mountain top Screaming anything he wants Like, "Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me Because I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist" I remember the way you shook It's a shame that we're not soul mates 'Cause if I didn't know better I'd say this feels pretty good And how could I be scared? When I stretch and feel you're there So shut your mouth 'Cause these words will speak themselves I can feel them in these blankets And they're surrounding your figure Embraced in the quilts And I can't help but think You're my missing puzzle piece I wake up in the hallway, I'm looking for sunlight With rays that will cure me of the pain that keeps my lungs tight Ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me To get out of this house I can't make them stop I'm just like my mom And you said, "No, these demons will fall You're so precious to us all" And I said, "I, I can't do this alone I still need you to hold So don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go 'Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid"
