lyrics

I wish that I was taller little taller than the trees
So I could see my future and the place I scrape my knees
And pick my battles wiser 'cos I’ve never won a war
I’m getting tired of waking up to bullets ringing out my door

You hid behind your crooked smile and the darkness of your eyes
Telling all your secrets to the tallest trees
'Cos when that old jackpine falls it don’t make a sound
It’s carrying all your thoughts and burying them in the ground

Between the strikes and thunder there's a silence in my ears
And it's asking me where my heart is bound
Fate is asking why I don’t talk to you no more
I was trembling to leave steady walking out the door

The morning came to take a train I took a greyhound instead
I much prefer the tires to the rail
I chased a humble feeling to the foothills in July
I never second guessed the reasons and I won't regret how I tried

Every passing city begs to know whats on my mind
Still I ponder where my heart is bound
Fate is asking why I don’t talk to you no more
I was trembling to leave steady walkin out the door

When it’s raining on her shore
I’m tryin to find a little shelter from the storm

Between the strikes and thunder there's a silence in my ears
And it's begging me where my heart is bound
Fate is asking why I don’t talk to you no more
I was trembling to leave steady walkin out the door
