Their arms, they reach
They branch like they're trying to catch me
They stand so tirelessly
Outgrown, the sides of roads
Are mixed in gold
The summer has me
The summer has me sold
I see the hints
Just picture it
Craving to witness
But we blinked and missed it
Beg to the sky
Long days and all night
Beg to the sky
Long days and all night
Here we are
Rooted deep
Looking up
So sun sweet
Until the fall
We lose it all
Here we are
Thin and bare
Stuck in the stiff stare
I wait up in the air
That makes it all fair
We stop and grow and stop and grow
We co-exist, flourished and sun kissed
Anything you'd like
Your back road eyes
They're getting dry and unnatural smile
You're lost in this place
I see it in your face
Lost in this place
I see it in your face
Here we are
Rooted deep
Looking up
So sun sweet
Until the fall
We lose it all
Here we are
YEAH!
Whoa, whoa
There's a vulture on my shoulder
The time I'm wasting
Can't say where I've been
Hey, mind reader
Don't let me get away
Don't let me get away
(You'll never know)
Stranger I know so well
Don't let me get away
Don't let me get away
Blame it on the television
You make your own love
I'm pulling
I'm pushing
I'm putting it out of my mind
We aim our arrows high
Oh dear, I've worked with father sky
So why don't we just go?
Don't let me get away
Don't let me get away
(So why don't we just go?)
Don't let me get away
Don't let me get away
I'm lost in it
There's a vulture on my shoulder
Don't let me get away
Don't let me get away
I'm lost in it
So lost in it
