Lyrics
rocks red and dusty, rust colored sand
i say i don’t mind you holding my hand
driving all night, a hilly vast expanse
throw pebbles off the cliffside, we’ve reached the edge of the land
clothes hang on the line, the slowness is grand
the wind keeps the time, i ask you to dance
is there a line between lover and friend
sun sickeningly bright, sudden thoughts of the end
it’s wild thing to be seen
it’s a risk to go where you’ve never been
mailbox on a trolly, an egg crate, a garden gate
i’d do anything just to communicate
meadow of goldenrod mingles with the weeds
it takes a while to build a home but we’ve planted the seed
it’s a wild thing to be seen
to go where you’ve never been
it’s a wild thing to be seen
to go where you’ve never been
it’s a wild thing to be seen
it’s a risk to lay roots where you’ve always been
