Arab Strap - Screaming In The Trees lyrics

We met on mutual ground But you avoided my gaze Until i lost your face In the next morning's haze. You're shoes could've woken up the whole street. They drowned out the birds screaming in the trees. We sat down on the stone stairs And i watched the scars on your knees. We met on mutual ground. You fell out of your dress. This bar's not open late enough, So let's go home and make a mess. They smiled and left the room To leave us with more space But we stayed where we were And just had a drink to the chase. A good night kiss equals a quick reaction But it's hard to believe i'm fully grown. So as usual, we parted on vague terms, So you could climb back on your thrown. Haunt me Haunt me. I know You'll keep me In tow. No laugh, No guide, No limp Beside. So haunt me 'cause i know You'll keep me In tow. If she's all I need To love And breed. Then haunt me 'cause i'll know You'll keep me In tow. Turbulence You always jump and quiver When you're coming in to land With no runway, no guidance No nails dug into my hand. We could have whoever we want. We could go back to school And see the dead laugh again. Let's get dressed up and pull. The only benefit of drinking. The downside of what we take. Some weekends i feel Like i could always be awake. A party in a strangers house. Have we ever met the host? Just smile and keep talking And get your can for a toast. We won't always be safe here But this is where we reign. Pull it tight to protect us. We might never sleep again.
