Gonna lay down in the grass and
Watch that acorn split in two
Slowly take root
While the clock upon the wall makes idle boasts
And the mind's out cruising silent coasts
Though the ghosts of better days might twist my eyes
Gonna stand my ground
Watch that sapling rise
Just as long as I've the strength
Well, I'll raise that flag
Like a wisp of cloud from a mountain crag
Now, this is awkward
I kept it bottled up too long
Years like tiny drops of rain on a glassy lake
Leaving nought but circles in their wake
Though we barely comprehend what the question is
Only know for certain, the answer's yes
Now this is awkward
Really don't know where to begin
I kept it bottled up too long
(I know that feeling too, yeah)
Don't ask me where the time has gone
(I know that feeling too, yeah)
Days I can't tell no right from wrong
(I know that feeling too, yeah)
I kept it bottled up too long
(Know that feeling, know that feeling)
Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it
(Like sunlight breaking through, yeah)
Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it
(I know that feeling too)
Gonna lay down in the grass and
Watch that acorn split in two
Slowly take root
(Take root)
