Little three acre wood
My entire neighborhood
Looked around but never could
Be part of you
All those broken shadows fell
With every little song I yelled
And somehow I could never tell
What's wrong with you
Now it's quiet
Even then
Now it's 6 pm
And the locks have forgotten
And even though you're heart is vacant
I hope that you somehow make it
It's your life I hope you take it
Along with you
Someday this forest will seem friendlier
Right now it's looming awfully dark
It's built on summer days and hands in dirt
But it seems you've taken it apart
Now it's quiet
Even then
Now it's 6 pm
And the locks have forgotten
Ooh
Little three acre wood
My entire neighborhood
We did everything we could
Sometimes things aren't good
Sometimes
You can't undo it

Telling me the time
The whispering pines
They know it
The summer's ending
All their friends are going
Telling me the time
The sun oh it shines
It's slowing
Somehow I'm always late to where I'm going
But I'm going somewhere nice
Where the winters aren't cold
And I'm taking your advice
To live before I'm old
But every footstep is a stranger
Oh a monster from the trees
But I hear them getting fainter
And I realize it's running away from me
Filling all the spaces
Like windows and faces
Shudder
the wind is always there
To take me under
Everything's fine
Like a forest and a fire
And someday
I'll see it all in color
Like it was made
But I made it out alright
Life's beautiful in black and white
And I wonder what you're like
Every days a lot of time
But every footstep is a stranger
Oh a monster from the trees
But I hear them getting fainter
And I realize it's running away from me
I was thinking
Oh you'd really like it here
You would like it here

You drive
And count all the miles
Stare ahead and smile
Now I do it too
You laugh
When nobody wants to
All the things that move you
Now they move me too
But you fight
Like you’re always losing
Turn away, refusing
To be wrong again
And you leave
Like you’re always ready
Though your bags are heavy
You’ll be gone tonight
I’m old and new
I get it from you
You work
Harder than you have to
Or they will forget you
But I never would
You fear
All the things that go wrong
And your fingers bleed on
Mine do it too
And life
Isn’t what you wanted
So the world is haunted
By the ones you love
We float
On the screen, a movie
Never staying long we
Go back to our own
You sing
All your favorite songs when
No one’s there to listen
And I do it too
And you dance
When you’re feeling empty
Cause you need a new thing
So I’ll do it too

My eyes are open
Always searching
They don't see a thing
I've made all these changes
I've waited
The sun is setting
I'm forgetting
Then the world is dark
Is it the laughter
I'm after?
Up
Always up
Fly away, if that's where it takes you
Shy away, tell me what you want
And up
Always up
Fly away, tell me what you see there
Lock away, all the memories you've got
I will not keep you in this spot
My arms are reaching
You are leaving
Nobody has won
These things that I'm feeling
Are fleeting
Up
Always up
Fly away, if that's where it takes you
Shy away, tell me what you want
And up
Always up
Fly away, tell me what you see there
Lock away, all the memories you've got
I will not keep you in this spot
Now I got a story
Living in my mind
You don't have to worry
Everything is fine
Now I got a story
Living in my mind
Would you be mine?
Up
Always up
Fly away, if that's where it takes you
Shy away, tell me what you want
And up
Always up
Fly away, tell me what you see there
Lock away, all the memories you've got
I will not keep you in this spot
