| [00:21.93] |
Round Here |
| [00:22.14] |
Step out the front door like a ghost |
| [00:24.69] |
into the fog where no one notices |
| [00:27.60] |
the contrast of white on white. |
| [00:31.77] |
And in between the moon and you |
| [00:33.99] |
the angels get a better view |
| [00:36.54] |
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right. |
| [00:41.70] |
I walk in the air between the rain |
| [00:44.61] |
through myself and back again |
| [00:51.69] |
Where? I don't know |
| [00:52.02] |
Maria says she's dying |
| [00:54.12] |
through the door I hear her crying |
| [00:56.43] |
Why? I don't know |
| [00:58.41] |
Chorus |
| [00:58.56] |
Round here we always stand up straight |
| [01:07.71] |
Round here something radiates |
| [01:22.77] |
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand |
| [01:27.15] |
she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis |
| [01:34.65] |
she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land |
| [01:37.41] |
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus |
| [01:43.02] |
she parks her car outside of my house |
| [01:46.38] |
takes her clothes off |
| [01:47.70] |
says she's close to understanding Jesus |
| [01:52.71] |
she knows she's just a little misunderstood |
| [01:57.72] |
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous |
| [02:01.89] |
Chorus: Round here we're carving out our names |
| [02:13.74] |
Round here we all look the same |
| [02:17.85] |
Round here we talk just like lions |
| [02:30.06] |
But we sacrifice like lambs |
| [02:31.98] |
Round here she's slipping through my hands |
| [02:47.04] |
Sleeping children better run like the wind |
| [02:49.29] |
out of the lightning dream |
| [02:56.91] |
Mama's little baby better get herself in |
| [02:59.79] |
out of the lightning |
| [03:06.54] |
She says It's only in my head |
| [03:14.85] |
She says Shhh I know it's only in my head |
| [03:26.07] |
But the girl in car in the parking lot |
| [03:28.62] |
says 'Man you should try to take a shot |
| [03:31.38] |
can't you see my walls are crumbling?' |
| [03:33.48] |
Then she looks up at the building |
| [03:38.31] |
and says she's thinking of jumping |
| [03:40.68] |
She says she's tired of life |
| [03:43.14] |
she must be tired of something |
| [03:45.09] |
Round here she's always on my mind |
| [03:56.79] |
Round here hey man got lots of time |
| [04:09.09] |
Round here we're never sent to bed early |
| [04:13.26] |
And nobody makes us wait |
| [04:16.68] |
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late |
