Big Wreck The Arborist song lyrics

This walk through life is harder than it used to be

We're scorching weeds to keep them from growing

The acid soil pulling up roots we locate

To a garden bed that's fertile and free

But watch what you're stepping on and who veils the light

When there's always a reason or two and the snake's out at night

But I turn towards the sun

Fists on our knees and I beg your pardon

Roam but never run

Ditch old routines and the humble hiding

Once they stood battered and bruised withheld below

With witches broom it's time to fail

The autumn wind blows with a sign of what's to come

Rake those leaves and draw the blinds

Oh you've always been what you're becoming

And I can't bear to watch

So I turn towards the sun

Fists on our knees and I beg your pardon

Roam but never run

Ditch old routines and the humble hiding

Babe if we were strolling through the memories

We can't pollinate the good ones

Somehow pull them back

And set them up and watch them fall away

Fall away

So I turn towards the sun

Fists on our knees and I beg your pardon

Roam but never run

Ditch old routines and the humble hiding

Here without ever knowing you would lend a hand

Sowing seeds of future

So many plants we'll make

We set them up

Now watch them fall away

Babe if we were strolling through the memories

We can't pollinate the good ones

Somehow pull them back

And set them up and watch them fall away

Fall away
