Verse 1

CLet's Fmaj7let the Cweeds grow and Fmaj7the birds make nCests

Con Fmaj7inconvenient Cperches so Fmaj7we can be more ChumbleFmaj7 . . . Cnow

and let's grab each other's ankles and throw our little bodies

down inconvenient mountains so we can learn to tumble...now

See, I hear about this house with similar ambitions

kids who seem to listen, private rooms for kissin'

a little mecca for the real ones, who've found a way to steal fun

from behind all these signs that are keeping us from wishin'

Chorus

Verse 2

And if these sirens call us and temperaments befall us

and all these catchy mantras are too trite, my dear, to shout

recall that that this grain of salt that we've brought here in our mouths

is a string we've tied behind us (put there to remind us) you can always turn around

Chorus

Verse 3

but soon the loop repeats and the holes behind the sheets

come clearly into focus (surrounding us with motives)

and reasons we should fly (kiss another town goodbye)

and this life, so half-hearted, that we've accidentally started

will be shaken off our backs as we're strapping on our packs

Chorus

Instrumental

Verse 4

And when our little feet have crossed too many streets

we'll know home when we see it, though our minds may not believe it

and we'll spread ourselves right out, get a matress and a couch

and live life like we mean it

Chorus
