Back in the Tall Grass

Lyrics

Home isn't open
 It's like when you get here
 The tracks by the creek bed
 The minnow's the body
 Crawdads with their heads down low
 Back in the tall grass
 Stinging my cattails oh!
 Looking for brother
 It feels like winter
 But it's the heart of the summer
 We can't go swimming
 As long as we slumber
 'Cause we're a long way from home
 A long way from home
 A long way from home
 How did we get here?
 One step takes me home
 Two steps back on my own
 Three skips to each stone
 Four steps back and I'm gone
 And I wanted you to know
 I was thinking about you
 And you look like a rose
 Especially, when I'm a long way from home
 A long way from home
 A long way from home
 How did we get here?
 Back to the body
 Words jump like salmon
 One step takes me home
 Two steps back on my own
 Three skips to each stone
 Four steps back and I'm gone
 And I wanted you to know
 I was thinking about you
 And you look like a rose
 Especially, in that backwater
 Running through the woods
 In that red water
 In the mirror, thinking of you
 Spend all day just thinking of you
 In the mirror thinking of you
 Spend my days just thinking of you
 Wow baby, just thinking of you
 All day, just thinking of you
 And I wanted you to know
 I was thinking about you
 And baby, you look like a rose
 Especially
 Long way from home (Long way from home)
 Long way from home (Long way from home)
 Long way from home
