Their arms, they reach,
They branch like they're trying to catch me,
They stand so tirelessly,
Outgrown, the sides of roads,
Are mixed in gold,
The summer has me,
The summer has me sold.
I see the hints,
Just picture it,
Craving to witness,
But we blinked and missed it,
Beg to the sky,
Long days and all night,
Beg to the sky,
Long days and all night.
Here we are,
Rooted deep.
Looking up,
So sun sweet,
Until the fall,
We lose it all
Here we are.
Thin and bare,
Stuck in the stiff stare,
I wait up in the air,
That makes it all fair,
We stop and grow and stop and grow,
We co-exist, flourished and sun kissed.
Anything you'd like,
Your back road eyes,
They're getting dry and unnatural smile,
You're lost in this place,
I see it in your face,
Lost in this place,
I see it in your face.
Here we are,

Rooted deep.
Looking up,
So sun sweet,
Until the fall,
We lose it all
Here we are.
YEAH!
Whoa, whoa.
There's a vulture on my shoulder.
The time I'm wasting,
Can't say where I've been.
Hey, mind reader,
Don't let me get away,
Don't let me get away.
(You'll never know)
Stranger I know so well.
Don't let me get away,
Don't let me get away.
Blame it on the television.
You make your own love.
I'm pulling,
I'm pushing,
I'm putting it out of my mind.
We aim our arrows high,
Oh dear, I've worked with father sky,
So why don't we just quit?
Don't let me get away,
Don't let me get away,
(So why don't we just quit?)
Don't let me get away,
Don't let me get away,
I'm lost in it,
There's a vulture on my shoulder,
Don't let me get away,
Don't let me get away,
I'm lost in it,
So lost in it.
