Lyrics

Half A Mile

Half a mile outside this sign
Is hope enough to change my mind
Dragging heavy heels
Crows out in a field a murder wide

Tell me, tell me what to do
Chasing clouds black and blue
One step towards the line
Counting breathes and dying on the vine
It's a worn out track
Eyes on my back

We're all scared of the wrong things here
We're all wrapped up in these hand-me-down fears
If I could fly I'd pull the whole town off this ground
No anchors down

Sleeping deeper than regret
Held you close lest I forget
Pulling from both sides
Leaving all we love on the divide

Watch you waving in retreat
Red clay roots beneath your feet
Dreamed a dozen times
Souring in my slumber to chimes
Of a church bell song
First toll gone

We're all scared of the wrong things here
We're all wrapped up in these hand-me-down fears
If I could fly I'd pull the whole town off this ground

Whispers through the burden trees
Hear them rustle in leaves
Stories deep inside
Count another ring left behind
Gave you all my promises
Brave as lies I must confess
More than I believe
Bold as any prayers inbetween
The truths we tell
And hopes we sell

We're all scared of the wrong things here
We're all wrapped up in these hand-me-down fears
If I could fly I'd pull the whole town off this ground
No anchors down
