When We Were Trees
Manchester Orchestra
You fell too fast
Like a cannon ball
? Fishnet stocking hands caught me again
And your head explodes like nothing's wrong
My God, we laid there silent, for an hour
And the birds they watched like a funeral
And they sang us all their pretty funeral songs
? Halleluia
What a mess that you have made again this time
??
And the birds they cry and watch us as we ?
And as we fall
And we must have laid alone for hours
I could feel your cold blood creeping up my arm
And I asked you if you were all right
But the bubbles from your mouth gave out alarm
And our mothers ran towards your ghost
While our fathers tried to fix your eggshell head?
And they're singing humpty dumpty Halleluia
The king himself could not fix you again
Now I sing because I miss you
And I meant to tell you that but I was scared
I was scared
