Lay down, underneath the hawthorne Staring through your cross hairs, waiting on the cue to pull Well, it has been a long haul With no one there to cheer you on And now you're looking tired as hell With question marks along your arm Lay down, underneath the hawthorne Your hanging off the fire escape With nothing there to break the fall I was just a kid back then, everything's been written off Now I am your protection And you are someone I adore I saw you running through the halls With your hair undone You had no care at all And I saw you dancing in the storm With your arms up You had no care at all Lay down, underneath the hawthorne It's now we start to question All of the things that we've been told The hours come in unison, since when did I become so boring? I'm drawing out the perfect scene But it always leads me to confusion I saw you, back against the wall Swinging at everyone You had no care at all And I saw you dancing in the storm With your arms up You had no care at all I saw you, singing your favorite song With your eyes shut As loud as you could And I saw you dancing in the storm With both hands up You didn't care at all
