lyrics

I have trouble waking in the morning
The birds chirping are beautiful and haunting
I hear them and I’m wanting new things
New bells to ring and new songs to sing and
I’m living a life so easy
Walking through it I feel beautiful and free
I see you and you’re living easy
And I want it to be, and I want it to be

I have woken I see stars fall and follow them
My blurry it wishes on all of them
I pass ideas of riches and grandeur
In favor of a picnic in a pasture so
Take my hand and let’s get messy as
Everyone will look at us in jealousy, but
It’s so easy when you’re living easy
And I want it to be, and I want it to

I’m going so fast so slowly
I’m leaving this town for one thing
I’m burning out so fast, it’s something
I’m leaving this town for one thing

And every day you come undone
Fighting a battle that you thought you’d won
But now you are back you’ve seen the signs
That tell that she was there the whole damn time

I am down for the count, but don’t count me out
Imagination but I hear you shouting
I’m no lion but I’m good at hunting
And I will chase you if that’s what you’re wanting.

I’m going so fast so slowly
I’m leaving this town for one thing
I’m burning out so fast, it’s something
I’m leaving this town for one thing, you.
