lyrics

I left two marks on your slender body
That had never been marked before
We rolled around the grass on the side of the highway
And left branded, itchy, unsure
Five hundred little mountains turned our bodies into planets
My hands made maps for my mind to remember
I was looking for someone to help me through the weeks
You were looking for somebody for forever

And all I know of God sure as shit ain't from a book
And all I know of love, you'll regret every chance you never took

But you think love is something to be scared of
It's tender, shaky, achy, and it's hard
I could almost fit my hands around your waist
But I couldn't fit my head around your heart

Sometimes what we want and what we find
Don't work out in the ways we wish they would
And maybe it would work out if we gave it a try
But who's to say that it would?

But who's to say anything?
The world's a big, black, empty screen
And all we talk about is meaning
How arrogant is that?
And every choice has pros and cons
It's all about the fence you're on
The hue of grass, whether your bum
Is getting kind of sore
And maybe we'll look back on this
And wonder about how different
Our lives could be ever since this
And sigh and then move on
And I'll remember you well

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
