Meadows - Emergency Song lyrics

Deep beneath the cobblestone
Wrapped up in your holy robe
This is where I like to roam
Underneath a sick old tree
Waiting like a pile of leaves
The ground will get the best of me

Like a snake I eat my day
And watch it as it fades away
But this is not where we will stay
Where we spin around and keep the count
Disturbing sounds of a sleepy town
It's time to turn this ship around

Songs to believe in
When it's hard and deceiving
Soon we'll be leaving this behind

Stuck behind venetian blinds
Digging through what's left behind
I don't know what I'm here to find
But as the weight goes down I look around
It seems I took myself to town
And this is where it all went down

Songs to believe in
When it's hard and deceiving
Soon we'll be leaving this behind

I would fly away tonight
If I had wings that carried me
Further than I care to walk
When darkness creeps up silently
And you will be the butterfly
I feel you move in there
When I get lost at night
And fill my lungs with empty air
The forest took off all it's leaves
To show the stars through naked trees
Nothing's wrong but nothing's right
I'm lost somewhere inside of me
I thought you'd be the one I lost
The one I never had, the one that got away
The one that never really stayed
But soon we'll leave it all behind
