Oaks

歌詞

There were days from last week I couldn't quite complete Skipped ahead to the next afternoon Sweat through the sheets, slept in my shoes Hung around with the house of balloons Keep the speed steady Hold the wheel straight We scratch and we scrape We're scared then we're brave The kids on the corner Making eyes at the cars If you want to be saved All it takes is a wave There were kids at the car wash That said they could get it Gave them half but they never came back Drove by so slowly It felt like we're floating In an inflatable raft Our bodies are stoplights Our minds are the streets We scratch and we scrape We're scared then we're brave The kids on the corner Making eyes at the cars If you want to be saved All it takes is a wave Sarah, I still think that you are so beautiful I'm sorry that you don't feel the same way as me We spent so much time in this town driving slowly We spent so much money on things that didn't stay So call for a taxi, slide into the backseat It rolls like a glass-bottomed boat The kids on the corner, when they reach in the window Their arms look like limbs from an oak Keep the speed steady Hold the wheel straight I swear I feel each little sway Our minds are the windows Our bodies are screens We scratch, we scrape and we dream We dream of the limbs of the trees We dream of the views from the boats Of mountains all covered in oaks And we hope As we hang from the limbs of the trees We cling to the rails of the boats The mountains all covered in oaks And we dream We dream of the limbs of the trees We dream of the views from the boats Of mountains all covered in oaks And we hope As we hang from the limbs of the trees We cling to the rails on the boats The trees as they turn into smoke The trees they turn slowly to smoke
