ground pulls at your feet
blackpool underneath
and you are who you are with whoever you are
but not with me
not so long ago
i tried to let you know
that you love who you love through the creek and the crust
and dirt below
the trophies you can keep
they mean nothing to me
autumn beds the leaves
the wind and rain in sheets
plant the seeds of the trees in the cracks of the street
and underneath
the trophies you can keep
they mean nothing to me
i know it
where did you go
ok so
where did you go from there
i know it
all of the time
i said it
when will you say you're mine
Right here on the roof
Came out from the bedroom
Watched her on her hooves
I knew it happened too soon
I tried to be her guy
But we ran out of time
I tried to make it work
But I am such a jerk
Saw her thru the snow
Ready for the big show
Thought I’d keep her close
Goes to show what I know
I watched her on the stage
From the inside of my cage
And I let myself out
Said I’ll see you around
