lyrics

We walk along a quiet street
No words to say, just echoes from our feet
I find it hard without a glass
A minute takes an hour just to pass

The spirit picks out things I know
It tends to help the conversation flow
The downside is the way I fail
To recall what we do or things we say

I like to lie awake, it tends to be the time I make
Plans like planting fifty trees then counting every single leaf
I like to lie awake, it tends to be the time I break
All sorts of ground, retaining hope
That what was lost may one day still be found

I often try to recreate that perfect zone, that loosened dream-like state
But when I do I cross the line that sits between two different kinds of time

I like to lie awake, it tends to be the time I make
Plans like planting fifty trees then counting every single leaf
I like to lie awake, it tends to be the time I break
All sorts of ground, retaining hope
That what was lost may one day still be found

We like to try identifying different types of people walking by
Amid the movement, ebb and flow, we'll find out what's there story, where they go
I often try to recreate that perfect zone, that loosened dream-like state
And any failure's by the by if I can get there just one final time

I like to lie awake, it tends to be the time I make
Plans like planting fifty trees then counting every single leaf
I like to lie awake, it tends to be the time I break
All sorts of ground, retaining hope
That what was lost may one day still be found
