Hopping fences we ran, sipping swigs of our cans Can you pass me the lighter, mate? Give me your fire Filming shit on that camera you nicked (it's my dad's) We can both barely stand Over hedges, we'd headlong (we hear) And on ledges, we'd land (our legends) From every height I'd fall, I'd call (we hear them, they call) I'd reach out for your hand, you sing If I have to be who I was (you're not) Do I have to be who I am? Didn't the trees tell us their stories? Yeah, but we, we called them all liars And they said, "Come down now" But we climbed so High, high into the night I look at those secret worlds you call eyes And wonder if we might There's something changed (there's something weaved) The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our) Windows, oh, shining in your light You were a king and his castle, I was every dirty rascal If you asked me for my lighter mate, I gave you my fire I'd call as you climbed And I'd catch you every time you fell 'Cause I will suffer silence for the strings you tune And I'll withstand what's written for the writer in you Write me well, my love, write me weird Write me willing, write me well Didn't the trees tell us their stories? Yeah, but we, we thought you were mental You were talking to trees And they said, "Come down now" But we climbed so High, high into the night I look at those secret worlds you call eyes And wonder if we might There's something changed (there's something weaved) The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our) Windows, oh, high And on that tree, I'll carve your name 'Cause in years to come, we both know we won't be the same You asked me to climb, I never learned But if you ask me for my fire Just watch me, just watch me Just watch me burn Just watch me burn, oh-oh There's something changed (there's something weaved) The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our) Windows, oh 'Cause we climbed so high We climbed so high, oh There's something changed (there's something weaved) The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our hearts, into our) Windows, oh, shining, shining
“We thought you were mental, you were talking to trees”
I’m dying of laughter on the floor
it has such a vibe of "Of course we thought you were insane, you were freaking talking to trees!!"
Hopping fences we ran, sipping swigs of our cans
Can you pass me the lighter, mate? Give me your fire
Filming shit on that camera you nicked (it's my dad's)
We can both barely stand
Over hedges, we'd headlong (we hear)
And on ledges, we'd land (our legends)
From every height I'd fall, I'd call (we hear them, they call)
I'd reach out for your hand, you sing
If I have to be who I was (you're not)
Do I have to be who I am?
Didn't the trees tell us their stories?
Yeah, but we, we called them all liars
And they said, "Come down now"
But we climbed so
High, high into the night
I look at those secret worlds you call eyes
And wonder if we might
There's something changed (there's something weaved)
The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our)
Windows, oh, shining in your light
You were a king and his castle, I was every dirty rascal
If you asked me for my lighter mate, I gave you my fire
I'd call as you climbed
And I'd catch you every time you fell
'Cause I will suffer silence for the strings you tune
And I'll withstand what's written for the writer in you
Write me well, my love, write me weird
Write me willing, write me well
Didn't the trees tell us their stories?
Yeah, but we, we thought you were mental
You were talking to trees
And they said, "Come down now"
But we climbed so
High, high into the night
I look at those secret worlds you call eyes
And wonder if we might
There's something changed (there's something weaved)
The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our)
Windows, oh, high
And on that tree, I'll carve your name
'Cause in years to come, we both know we won't be the same
You asked me to climb, I never learned
But if you ask me for my fire
Just watch me, just watch me
Just watch me burn
Just watch me burn, oh-oh
There's something changed (there's something weaved)
The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our)
Windows, oh
'Cause we climbed so high
We climbed so high, oh
There's something changed (there's something weaved)
The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our hearts, into our)
Windows, oh, shining, shining
