Fields of Green

when i close my eyes
i see fields of green
when my i lay my head down at night
i’m dreaming of the past times
and i can hear the rolling hills calling me
i want to go swimming in the north sea
my eyes are green like the fields i dream
and their memories have a firm grip on me
and i can hear the rolling hills calling me
i want to go swimming in the north sea
swimming in freezing water
feel it on your skin as you swim
in the cold, cold, blue you're a Scotsman

Summertime baby

It’s summer in the way you speak
It’s summer in your rosy cheeks
It’s summer time all the time if your by my side
It’s summer in the way you move
It’s summer in the things you do
help me forget my summertime baby
you called me last night at 3 in the morning
whispered through the phone i love you
i whispered back at you
we both know that’s not true
you’re just drunk and alone on a bathroom floor
an ocean away behind a closed door
don’t you know your sweet words don’t work on me no more
Help me forget my summertime baby
It’s summer in the way you leave
It’s summer in the way you walk down the street
It’s summertime all the time if you’re by my side
It’s summer in the way you said maybe I’ll see
you sometime, maybe I’ll see you sometime, summertime
Help me forget my summertime baby
It’s summer in the way you speak
It’s summer in the way you leave

i remember crying
that summers day on a London train i was
it’s the morning after, took a cold shower to wash you off my skin
the feeling sinking in
walking cliche americana meets penny lane
the next day barely awake running down the 8am train i was young and ashamed
i gotta fly home get a degree
study at my university
-voicemail-
its been 2 years now i'm still not clear how i got over you, oh i got over you, oh i got over you
daisy chains you don't know my middle name you wear the chain i got you
daisy chains you don't know my middle name you wear the chain i got you
i remember crying
that summers day on a London train i was

When i'm with you
01:09
|
|||
|
i’ve learned a lot
but i still don’t know enough
these days i cry when i get up
shield my eyes from the morning sun
i'm so you but i feel a little old
i'm a little scared of what the future holds
but i don’t think about the stress of things when i’m with you
no i don’t think about the stress of things when i’m with you
when i’m with you
when i’m with you

sometimes i long for the old times
stories before bedtime
you’d brush your teeth in the sink right next to me
oh how we used to be young an naive
remember when you crashed your bike right in to me
it didn’t make me bleed but i got a bruise on my knee
no it didn’t make me bleed, i remember you took care of me
sometimes i long for the old times
sometimes i long for you
we’re laughing on my bedroom floor i’m turning 16
i never told you what your mother said to me
that night she made you leave
i thought it would break you
so i let it break
so i let it break me
sometimes i fantasize
what my life would be like
if i never moved
if never took that flight
if i just stayed
would things be right
would they be better
would i still where wooly sweaters in the summer would i even know you, would you be my lover
would i still listen to Yo La Tengo walking down the street
oh autumn sweater in the august heat

and i feel a little better now

and i'm better now i'm all grown up
oh i'm better now theres room to run
yeah i'm better now, better now yeah, i'm better now, better now
and i'm better now its been a few months

Sense of place
02:01
|
|||
|
say you want to find a sense of place
oh the winding roads feel like home
oh the highlands are where i go
when i’m feeling tired and alone
and i need a hug from nature herself
and you say that people make
the town you grew up in
but we’ve both seen them break before
and as your headlights light up that one way street
i hope you find your way right back to me
right back to me
you open the window in your room
and look in to the street
remember when you used to climb out
just to feel the breeze
those nights you couldn’t sleep
but now you’ve got the galaxy on your ceiling
you tell me a good nights sleep is healing

you're not the kind to easily forget
its springtime now not summer yet
gonna be on a plane headed your way
with pretty little lilac flowers
with pretty little lilac flowers
every month of the summer
books stacked as tall as me
flowers as far as the eye can see
with pretty little lilac flowers
with pretty little lilac flowers
