Could you wonder what they've seen
From the hanging branches blowing
Courage to look down without fear of falling
But any other time, face down outside
The sun heats my back as the world goes by
Could you wonder what they've seen
2 inches from the ground
pushing away dirt and leaves
They barely make a sound
They'll forever be free from a war torn land
To burrow underground never seen again
Frostbitten hands from working in the cold
Dreaming of the day when we get to go home
'Cause I've gone days out here without saying a word
Until he switches off the light
The only one we've known
The sprawl has left the lights
At the end of alleyways
With wasted spoken word Of better past days
To an empty dark room the words bounce and they fly
They'll never find an ear. They'll never know why.
Chorus
Pull yourself together, we're both bad a looking busy
Watching a tire swing fill with snow
Blocking view of our only window
