Nevernew - The Houses We Grew Up In Lyrics

In a tree, if I'm sleeping, it behooves me
Getting real, singing an old country song inside
Time to drive, time to drive, so impermanent
I ride with the night behind me I can feel

I unzip the paper, and I walk out in the beer
It takes me to a parking lot of ears
And everyone's arrived, everyone with sparkles
Everyone with raccoon heads and idols
I don't think I understand how the supernovas work out
How the rooftops I hang out on all get blown out
When you shake me by the hand I will ruin you
With mercy I will bury you with no one's listening anyway

Beside yourself, if you're with me, I will save you every beauty
Un-plug our kites and blend in with the tides
Time to drive, time to drive, the satellites and blinking
The facts aren't what you're thinking, they're alive

I remake your image, and I fly up where it's clear
I find myself a tennis court of deer
And everyone's arrived, everyone we've startled
Everyone with raccoon hearts and idylls
I will make you understand how the politics are f*cked up
How the houses we grew up in need to wake up
When I shake you by the hand will you ruin me
With mercy will you notice now there's someone listening anyway

I don't think I understand how the supernovas work out
How the rooftops I hang out on all get blown out
When you shake me by the hand I will ruin you
With mercy I will bury you with no one's listening anyway

I will make you understand how the politics are f*cked up
How the houses we grew up in need to wake up
When I shake you by the hand will you ruin me
With mercy will you notice now there's someone listening anyway
