Lyrics Mat Kerekes – Hawthorne

Lay down underneath the hawthorne
Staring through your cross hairs, waiting on the cue to pull
Well it has been a long haul with no one there to cheer you on
And now you’re looking tired as hell

Lay down underneath the hawthorne
Hanging off the fire escape with nothing there to break the fall
I was just a kid back then, everything has been written off
Now I am your protection and you are someone I adore

I saw you running through the halls with your hair undone
You had no care at all
I saw you dancing in the storm with your arms up
You had no care at all

Lay down underneath the hawthorne
It’s now that we start to question all of the things that we’ve been told
The hours come in unison, since when did I become so boring?
I’m drawing out the perfect scene but it always leads me to confusion

I saw you, back against the wall, swinging at everyone
You had no care at all
I saw you dancing in the storm with your arms up
You had no care at all

I saw you singing your favorite song with your eyes shut, as loud as you could
I saw you dancing in the storm with your arms up
You didn’t care at all
