dogtooth & nail - where i'm going lyrics

Loading...

fill my pockets up with problems
carry that weight on my hips
bare my teeth so you can see
that i’m serious
the dogs are calling me
out to play
and mess up my clothes
and i know… i know…

that there are still places where trees tower over buildings
there are still places where trees tower over buildings
that’s where i’m going

heavy heavy heart you wear yourself
around my neck please don’t
tighten up i’m already
running out of breath
well there’s something thick in the air
and it sure doesn’t settle well
in my chest
these lead lungs may make it hard
as i tell you i’m so tired of
dancing around in the same d-mn circle

but there are still places where trees tower over buildings
there are still places where trees tower over buildings
that’s where i’ll be free

my grandma told me
her life was like getting use to a new pair of shoes
uncomfortable at first you gotta
take the pain and you’ll
walk away stronger than you use to

well i’ve worn these soles to the bone
leaving pieces of myself all along
exposing the insides that you like to keep close to you and
all along even if i’m all alone those pieces i lost make me aware of these darker truths

but there are still places where trees tower over buildings
there are still places where trees tower over buildings
that’s what i’m protecting

i don’t benefit from lying to you
and i won’t apologize if i’m speaking in shades of blue
you were too afraid to dig up roots so you left on a gray day
saying
sorry for the hurricane

but star crossed kneecaps may touch but just graze the skin
tripping trying to tip toe around conversations we should’ve been in
a long time ago i would sacrifice my own arm just for that one smile
but if we keep wasting away, letting them win there won’t.. be…

there won’t be…
trees that tower over buildings
there won’t be
trees that tower over buildings
(x2)

so meet me where i’m going
