lyrics

can i borrow a ladder
i need to get in my attic
i have so many things
i keep leaving unattended
mountains of letters
and a full-body carhartt suit
lonesome in the garage
next to cobwebs in my lawn-mowing shoes

is all this running around
gonna lead me back to you
it's like waiting on the sound
of a rising moon

when you gave up on your garden
did you heart have to harden
watching the hawthorns
and dandelions win
we tore out that fencing
that same night we were dancing
it felt like the whole world was
slippin’ away

is all this running around
gonna lead me back to you
it's like waiting on the sound
of a rising moon

i'm never ready
to leave any season
turns out i'm not so
good with change
i change my mind
every time that you ask me
what i want
or who i dream i could be
if we live like tides
chasing time
in the cold sea
i'll never find me
i'll never find me
i'll never find me

is all this running around
gonna lead me back to you
it's like waiting on the sound
of a rising moon
