Kneejerk - Sigh lyrics
[Kneejerk - Sigh lyrics]
Peeking through wired and crisscross fingers
At these marks that we made
Knife blade deep in the wood
We thought we'd marked our names
To last through all the years
A record of our aspirations
We'd come back and look
When our joints didn't work
I never used to understand
Why my father sighed
These plants smile at me now
I wish i could say i was old and wise
But bark has started to heal
Fading like breath on a window
I never used to understand
Why my father sighed
His once-a-year friends waved away
I used to know the way back home
So i'd wander for days
I left a trail so i could find myself
But it faded away
And so i tell you this with an honesty
I'm not sure i understand
I'm paralyzed and terrified as i watch
These friends slip through my hands
And now i think i understand
Why my father sighed:
We tried so hard but we
Keep feeling dead inside
I used to know the way back
Home but the memory has gone
And when i tell you i'll be home again
It's because i'm sure where i belong
