Love me girl, until the trees fall flat, until the vines crawl through the door,
When the rain is gone then our blood must feed all the flowers in the soil,
The air is full of the sparrows and flies that hide under the bridge,
And it’s nothing new, it’s just a part of you and everyone who lives
Under the moonlight.
I’m wondering where you are now dear, are you mad, or changed, or free?
I tell everyone that I tried but lost to your spineless, scattered leaves,
And I’m hoping for an open door to tell me how to see, and I do what I do ’cause it’s a part of you and everyone who breaths under the moonlight.
And I could fight it but you’d still feel the truth hit,
‘Cause I was never good at hiding it.
And a troubled mind means a troubled heart don’t you know dear?
And trouble has a way of finding us.
They took out the roots and I looked at you, you saw the diamonds in the grass,
And you said ‘life is here, doesn’t matter dear if its far, or near, or flat.
And we alter it but it changes us, even though sometimes we don’t quite see
that we’re moving around on this moving ground that changes like the sea under the red tide.’
And I could fight it but you’d still feel the truth hit,
‘Cause I was never good at hiding it.
And a troubled mind means a troubled heart, don’t you know my dear?
So trouble has a way of finding us.
Trouble has a way of finding us.
