Let Down - VersaEmerge

Their arms, they reach

They branch like they’re trying to catch me

They stand so tirelessly

Outgrown, the sides of roads

Are mixed in gold

The summer has me

The summer has me sold

I see the hints

Just picture it

Craving to witness

But we blinked and missed it

Beg to the sky

Long days and all night

Beg to the sky

Long days and all night

Here we are

Rooted deep

Looking up

So sun sweet

Until the fall

We lose it all

Here we are

Thin and bare

Stuck in the stiff stare

I wait up in the air

That makes it all fair

We stop and grow and stop and grow

We co-exist, flourished and sun kissed

Anything you’d like

Your back road eyes

They’re getting dry and unnatural smile

You’re lost in this place

I see it in your face

Lost in this place

I see it in your face

Here we are

Rooted deep

Looking up

So sun sweet

Until the fall

We lose it all

Here we are

YEAH!

Whoa, whoa

There’s a vulture on my shoulder

The time I’m wasting

Can’t say where I’ve been

Hey, mind reader

Don’t let me get away

Don’t let me get away

(You'll never know)

Stranger I know so well

Don’t let me get away

Don’t let me get away

Blame it on the television

You make your own love

I’m pulling

I’m pushing

I’m putting it out of my mind

We aim our arrows high

Oh dear, I’ve worked with father sky

So why don’t we just go?

Don’t let me get away

Don’t let me get away

(So why don’t we just go?)

Don’t let me get away

Don’t let me get away

I’m lost in it

There’s a vulture on my shoulder

Don’t let me get away

Don’t let me get away

I’m lost in it

So lost in it
