Tift Merritt - The Things That Everybody Does lyrics

Everybody told me this is who you have to be My hands in my pockets as deep as they go I walked home and packed up my cases to leave I walked all over this country, I went down to the sea I talked a lot with the sun and the sky I didn't talk much with anyone else really These are the things that everybody does I always wondered what was all the fuss I never knew exactly what it was 'Til there was you 'Til there was you 'Til There was you You found me up in the attic, singing down to the leaves You caught me reading love letters aloud To horses and children, to stars and to trees These are the things that everybody does I always wondered what was all the fuss I never knew exactly what it was 'Til there was you 'Til there was you 'Til there was you But a mountain is still a mountain, a mountain goes to the sea No matter what I'd like to pretend, no matter what I'd like it to be No I don't have to stay here, I could fly off and leave On the wings of a unicorn's breast, my typewriter strapped with diamonds to my chest But how could I go with breakfast not over yet? These are the things that everybody does I always wondered what was all the fuss But what a lovely morning that it was When there was you When there was you When there was you When there was you
