Grizzly Bear - Smothering Green lyrics

[Grizzly Bear - Smothering Green lyrics]

Look now the evening's here
Colliding in the sky
Down here we lie and wait
We lie awake and think
All that we loved and learned
Just vanished in our sleep there it goes

Down here the wind is high
And it blows us back to earth
Giving the fires their light
And keeps us rolling on
Meanwhile back in your mind
The battle rages on there it goes

Whenever you want me
Whenever you call me dear, just try
And clear out your mind
And I'll clear out mine
Why don't you want me?
Why don't you hold me down and cry
Clear out your mind and I'll clear out mine

Far out in the smothering green
Where you're near to me
Far gone, getting lost on me now
You're never there anyhow so don't look now
Holding out for a state of grace
Never mind about the state we're in
Searching on for that magic feel
To give me love, I can't make for real

Yeah, it's getting colder
Thoughts getting foggier by the hour
Clear out your mind i cleared out mine
So why don't you wake me?
Why don't you shake me down and cry
Clear out your mind and I'll clear out mine
