lyrics

I know a boy with a four-leaf clover.
He's wishing that his summer wasn't nearly over.
His hair is tangled, and as rough as wire
and smells like campfire.

He went out into the woods,
Didn't come back til he understood.
Reaching out with helping hands;
They're no good if you don't understand.
I don't understand.

It’s either heaven or it’s hell
When all the days are parallel.
I tore apart a piece of paper,
lackluster and lost love letters taped back together.
And I just sat there in a chair,
in your house for the first time in a year.
With a cup of tea and a table between
old friends, you and me.

But I took a gesture as a personal attack.
I got confused between white and black
Reaching out with a fist full of ash;
You don't know how I want it back.
I want it all back.

My head was full of doubt.
It was nothing new that I could do with out.
With sunglasses, a beard and your hair cut short
Still sporting that same sports coat
Now we talk as if we just met
But I used to know your silhouette.

I can be found in between
the ocean and the evergreen.
Reaching out with numb hands;
They're no good if you can’t hold back.
I can't hold back.
