lyrics

variegated vines grow over the signs and up the steps, over the windows and the doors.
to hide and forget the past
the well wasn’t always dry. it once rained in the spring time, and i’d cover myself over with leaves.
to hide and forget the past
i drew make believe, under bare feet i’d grass stain jeans.
i’d invent interesting friends, from sheets i’d make our home
through meadow streets and forest caves. the days that yellow with memory.

my arms are heavy and numb like i've slept on them
how did i find myself here?
like waking from a dream but already on the move
how did i find myself here?

i trust my eyes to see more than there is. more than i can afford.
it’s buttons and riches made of buttons and nails. my pulse races for these things.
my pulse still races for these things.
and i grow older but not without an appreciation for the simple things.
through meadow streets and forest caves. the days that yellow with memory.
my pulse still races for these things.
