lyrics

When you wake up tomorrow try to find your plot device
The trophy, the light, the walk, the mystery, or the vice
I came across two paths diverged in a fucking wood and I
Remembered what Clara said, it's amazing to realize
There's no such thing as somewhere no one's went
We are the only difference

When we wake up tomorrow will another dead tradition pass?
We found new constellations where the old ones hung up their hats
In every smile I see things that are never coming back
It makes me sad but makes sure I don't forget

We are all observers in a self aware universe

And so I'm spending my summer reading b-b-books on the b-b-b-beach
Getting lost with my best friends, finding new realities
I picked a pinecone from the twisting, shifting forest floor
What a curious thing to feel such affection for

You could have been a tree, but here you are with me
You could have been a tree, but here you are

I sincerely miss those shitty bar shows, the mics sh-shocking my lips
The small crowd of friends and acquaintances bobbing their heads, shaking their hips
Everyone goes outside to smoke, they get back in for the opening notes
And you know we all got work tomorrow

Sometimes we kind of hate ourselves
That makes us no different than anyone else
We left our fear behind with our faith and fate
If the world's gonna end, this is where we'll wait

You could have been anything, but here you are with me
You could have been anything, but here you are

They have more elaborate calls than most birds, and often extravagant songs given in display flight. These melodious sounds (to human ears), combined with a willingness to expand into anthropogenic habitats — as long as these are not too intensively managed — have ensured larks a prominent place in literature and music. ... more
