Something Undefined

from Drop the Air by If Only the Trees

/

lyrics

There’s an undisciplined theory
Of how she shops for groceries
But I’ll never know the way
She puts armchairs on the lawn

Or weighs pros and cons against her heart
Meet me in the middle, she’d say
She’d say, meet me at three

We made vague plans for the mainland
To throw up our gold medals
Watch ‘em swim around in despair
Pack up and find home

But where are Carver’s liquors
To personify the unknown
And if I fought in the culture war
I left it the same as before

Now I know to ask for help
And I know to feed the doves
It doesn’t make me more human
To close my eyes and count the colors

Who was who at the start?
It’s unclear, we never kept track
Of which of our moments are new
And which ones left and turned back

I could step up and look straight
At that something undefined in you
And I’ll never have an idea
Of what feeling I should create

Forgive me if I drop the air
Just this time, stare where I stare
Forgive me, forgive me if I drop the air
I’ve gotta, I’ve gotta separate somewhere

[Forgive me if I drop the air
Just this time, stare where I stare
Forgive me, forgive me if I drop the air
I’ve gotta, I’ve gotta separate somewhere[

[Who was who at the start?
It’s unclear, we never kept track
Of which of our moments are new
And which ones left and turned back
I could step up and look straight
At that something undefined in you
And I’ll never have an idea
Of what feeling I should create]

[Meet me in the middle, she’d say
She’d say, meet me at three
Meet me in the middle, she’d say
She’d say, meet me at three
Meet me in the middle, she’d say
She’d say, meet me at three
Meet me in the middle, she’d say
She’d say, if only the trees]
