Manchester Orchestra - When We Were Trees
You fell too fast like a cannon ball
But the fishnet stocking hands caught me again
And your head explodes like nothing's wrong
And my God, we laid there silent for an hour
And the birds they watched like a funeral
And they sang us all their pretty funeral songs
★ Chorus 1 ★
Yahweh, Yahweh, Hallelujah
What a mess that you have made again this time
Tempt us, tempest, Hallelujah
And the birds they cry and watch us as we squall
And as we fall
★ Verse 2 ★
And we must have laid alone for hours
I could feel your cold blood creeping up my arm
And I asked you if you were all right
But the bubbles from your mouth gave out alarm
And our mothers ran towards your ghost
While our fathers tried to fix your egg-shelled head
★ Chorus 2 ★
And they're singing, "Humpty Dumpty, Hallelujah
The king himself could not fix you again"
Now, I sing because I miss you
And I meant to tell you that, but I was scared
I was scared
