​tarnisher - ​anything lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
when i was five and eighteen weeks, peat mud on my knees
my father climbed the maple tree and hung me up a swing
and i flew so high that i could almost touch the infant leaves
cause i could do anything, i could do anything at all

i’m not the man i thought i’d be when i was seventeen
the ground’s a little further now, the tree is still a tree
and i fumble on the swing, i’m a samara in the breeze
not knowing anything, no i don’t know anything at all

[chorus]
we’ll have a house in alberta
or at least far away from the shore
with a tree swing out in the garden
and somebody to hang it for
oh i tried hard to find where you were hurting
cause i wanted to give you the world
but i’ve learned you’re no map and i’m no atlas
and i can’t do anything, cause i’m not anything at all

[verse]
you took me by surprise when you convinced me to concede
i thought you were a forest but i missed you for the trees
how foolish to assume that you would never burn the leaves
oh you can’t keep anything
we can’t be anything at all
[chorus]
we’ll have a house in the mountains
somewhere far far away from the shore
and the tree swing out in the garden
will be somebody’s open door
oh i thought i was right for a moment
cause the blood in my eyes was the world
but in the morning we’ll be a day older
and it won’t mean anything, cause i’m not anything at all
