La Dispute - FULTON STREET I lyrics

[La Dispute - FULTON STREET I lyrics]

Found a body at the rest stop
Buried in the woods beneath
The garbage and leaves
Workers clearing overgrowth
Saw hidden in the brush
Just beyond the line of the trees
A jawbone and teeth winter into spring
On Fulton Street

And cities grow weeds and cities grow
And cities keep secrets in the trees
In the shadow of a pyramid
And cities grow weeds and cities grow
By the river and the covered bridge
All cities grow weeds and I know

All the memories your dreams retrieve
You pick a dress out for the funeral
Hold a vigil in the field
Release lanterns at night
And I saw on the shoulder of the interstate
When I followed your eyes
When I followed your eyes
All the crosses for the accidents
All the photos and the flowers by the street

Will I ever put flowers by the street?
Will I ever put flowers by the street?
Never needed to live and
Suffer through the pain
All the tyrannies of grief if I ever do
Will I even have the strength to do anything?
Could I go and leave flowers by the street?

And I saw signs on the
Shoulder of the interstate
When I followed your eyes
And I saw lights fading every monument
And the passage of time if I could just try
Could I banish all the pain in you?
Give you everything you need?
If I hid rose quartz underneath the mattress
Would it help you nights
When you're struggling to sleep?
When you're struggling to sleep?
Will I ever be half what I can be?
Can I ever be half what I can be?
If you needed me to be anything
Could I even be half of what you need?
Will I ever be me? Will I ever be me?
If I could take hands to shake you
Would you want me to?
If it shook you out of grief?
If I gave chase
Summers when you tunneled into nothingness
Would it bring you some release?
If I saw signs on the
Shoulder of the interstate
When I followed where your eyes went
I saw nights spent after midnight in a eulogy
That you never got to give
And I saw fenders bent hard on an oak tree
I saw sirens at the scene
I saw cigarettes falling in
The tangle of machinery
Between the console and seat
And I saw hands reach
Car drift across the center line
I saw it all in my dreams
And I saw leaves hiding bodies
In the tree line off the interstate
But, I've never put flowers by the street

I've never put flowers by the street
If you need for me to be anything
I could be everything you need
If you need for me to be anything
I could be everything you need
Every monument every memory
And I've never put flowers by the street
