Lyrics
Us
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish we could get our act together
Make some sense of present tense, alright
Take our time with what we find and feel it
Don't you know there's some place else that we can go
A billion trees to climb
I don't really know your taste in ceilings
I don't know the harpian you rev
But for now I think I'll keep on reelin
This adventure needs a little game my friend
May it never, never end
We're locked in
To talkin
A lariat knot to a Cree
A walk in
The cotton
A rebel attempt to a ski
We're locked in
To talkin
I'd rather you'd not than agree
To walk in
The cotton
A rebel attempt to a ski
On Gypsum Flats you can't do that…
Speakin through the ferns in Alleghany
Chatting up a panda in a bar
I like wearing slippers when it's raining
This attraction bleeds into a thirst
Like it always does
