Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Panic in the first beat of the morning
Even what I've got isn't worth offerin'
If I can't cross the sheets
And hold you, babe
[Verse 2]
Talkin' in the streets, who is listenin'?
Nothing that I say is worth rememberin'
Even faces change
My heart stays the same
[Verse 3]
Engine in the sky won't let the moment go
Followin' behind, always a second slow
If I'm far away, am I hearin' straight?
I'm no voice you want to know
[Verse 4]
Oh, you've been a forest burnin', no direction
Caught me sleepin', smoke in my protection
Your blackened branches driftin' through my water
Are you wrapped up in his arms? I'm rushin' faster and faster
[Verse 5]
Panic in the taste of all that could have been
Even what I thought wasn't worth givin'
At least my mind has changed
[Verse 6]
Oh, I've been a forest burnin', no direction
I tried to hold you, I tried everything but runnin'
My heart is panickin', are you kissin' him?
Are you reachin' through all your days with him?
[Verse 7]
Your blackened branches driftin' through my water
Are you over me? Are you, are you, are?
I will not hold you, I will not feel your sway
I will not miss you, I will not think each day
Of summer twilight, your eyes rushin' through me deep
I saw my own waters rushin' right back to me
[Verse 8]
You sittin' shotgun, the lost coast callin' me
Umpqua Forest, your face just like in my dream
[Verse 9]
Are you, are you, are
Are you, are you, are
Are you, are you, are
Are you, are you, are
Are you, are you, are
Are you, are you, are
Are you, are you, are
Are you, are you, are
Are you, are you, are
Are you, are you, are
