lyrics

are you coming over?
the dish set i was gifted has too many plates for just me and
I’ve been cooking enough every night
To feed a small lonely army
i can feel myself getting lazy
i can feel myself getting boring
i push my ear up to the wall to see if i can hear
the sound of human people snoring
but these walls are made of concrete.

the only thing i’ve done today is wake up from sleep
and call a man i don’t know and never will meet
and all he’s done is ask me bout the trees.

what kind of trees grow in that part of the state?
are they cedar is it pine? i heard the weather’s just great
to grow upwards and vertical to go upwards and tall
towards that red sun
that barely comes in at all.
Yeah you heard it goes tall?
heard it all goes vertically?
but can’t tell if it’s deforestation or just me
but i haven’t noticed any trees

it’s been the longest summer of my life
and the shortest one too
i haven’t done anything but watch the
red 6 o’clock sun
turn into a
dark blue.

i keep thinking bout the man on the other side of the line
asking me what kind of trees grow around this time
i couldn’t even answer him i just cried and cried
oh it has been days since I have gone outside.
I just keep looking for hours
outside my window
watching that red sun go beyond indigo
and i can’t see any trees from this part of town
but i’ll call him back
when i figure out
what kind of trees grow in this part of the state
he won’t remember me
he gets too many calls when it gets this late
but I just needed someone to know
about the dark
and the blue
and the indigo.
