Lyrics
0:14Gonna lay down in the grass
0:17And watch that acorn split in two
0:24Slowly take root
0:25While the clock upon the wall makes idle boasts
0:30And my mind's out cruising silent coasts
0:40Though the ghosts of better days might twist my eyes
0:46Gonna stand my ground watch that sapling rise
0:51Just as long as I've the strength well I'll raise that flag
0:57Like a wisp of cloud from a mountain crag
1:07Now this is awkward
1:14I kept it bottled up too long
1:23Years like tiny drops of rain on a glassy lake
1:29Leaving nought but circles in their wake
1:35Though we barely comprehend what the question is
1:40Only know for certain the answer's yes
1:50Now this is awkward
1:52Really don't know where to begin
1:57I kept it bottled up too long
2:03I know that feeling too yeah
2:09Don't ask me where the time has gone
2:14I know that feeling too yeah
2:20Days I can't tell no right from wrong
2:24I know that feeling too yeah
2:30I kept it bottled up too long
2:36Know that feeling know that feeling
2:42Tell me about it tell me about it tell me about it
2:48Like sunlight breaking through yeah
2:53Tell me about it tell me about it tell me about it
2:59I know that feeling too
3:02Gonna lay down in the grass
3:06And watch that acorn split in two
3:11Slowly take root
Gonna lay down in the grass And watch that acorn split in two Slowly take root While the clock upon the wall makes idle boasts And my mind's out cruising silent coasts Though the ghosts of better days might twist my eyes Gonna stand my ground watch that sapling rise Just as long as I've the strength well I'll raise that flag Like a wisp of cloud from a mountain crag Now this is awkward I kept it bottled up too long Years like tiny drops of rain on a glassy lake Leaving nought but circles in their wake Though we barely comprehend what the question is Only know for certain the answer's yes Now this is awkward Really don't know where to begin I kept it bottled up too long I know that feeling too yeah Don't ask me where the time has gone I know that feeling too yeah Days I can't tell no right from wrong I know that feeling too yeah I kept it bottled up too long Know that feeling know that feeling Tell me about it tell me about it tell me about it Like sunlight breaking through yeah Tell me about it tell me about it tell me about it I know that feeling too Gonna lay down in the grass And watch that acorn split in two Slowly take root
