lyrics

Just how high in that sycamore tree
Will I have to climb to see?
Branch by branch an attempt to accept
Or just to make a scene?
When cicadas poke up from underground
Will I even hear a sound?
Up on high, I’m preoccupied
Who’s gonna pull me back down to the ground?

You were water spilled out
That we couldn’t save
I held out my hands as you fell away
You were water spilled out
That we couldn’t save

You were water spilled out
That we couldn’t save
So I’ll save our plans for another day
You were water spilled out
That we couldn’t save
Til you come back down with the pouring rain

Stuck dead in the tracks down in Brooks,
Warehouses and winding roads,
Bedroom town for the cold, poor, and alone
So much for a home, I don’t wanna know.
Pour it out on the children in the street
My brothers and I gather around, but no one speaks
What’s my connection to this now?
One less tie to bring me back

Strain my eyes for a chance to see
Rose lens, heaven bent, progression to the past tense
What’s my excuse for anything now?
So dense, sixth sense, precognition in the aftermath

You were water spilled out
That we couldn’t save
I held out my hands as you fell away
You were water spilled out
That we couldn’t save

You were water spilled out
That we couldn’t save
So I’ll save our plans for another day
You were water spilled out
That we couldn’t save
Til you come back down with the pouring rain
