about

Released October 2009 on the EP "Atoms, Electrons & Strings"

lyrics

You thought I would be rid of you
The sun burns bright and falls to the wayside
Maybe you'll change your mind with the five-year-olds selling you on Jesus
Now take your time, now plan your lines
You oughtta be satisfied
Now take your time, now plan your lines
Shadows will descend
And the words are spilling out of our pens
And the lines are drawing circles instead

And in a landslide fall it's been coming down
You wear those boots and I'll take you to the shore tonight
We are all learning how to grow old
It gets so hard when you cannot see the ground, so won't you
Lay me down

You thought all of the birds can sing
The moon turns white and falls to the wayside
Maybe you'll fall in line with the five-year-olds selling you on Jesus
Now take your time, now plan your lines
You oughtta be satisfied
Now take your time, now plan your lines
Shadows will descend
And the words are spilling out of our heads
And the lines are drawing circles instead

And in a landslide fall it's been coming down
You wear those boots and I'll take you to the shore tonight
We are all learning how to grow old
It gets so hard when you cannot see the ground, so won't you
Lay me down

Well I've been running out scared and running behind
Wanna make my name known in America

Won't you lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
In a landslide fall it's been coming down
