Persimmon Grove

Grab your coat and your shoes
'Cause tonight, we're going out
On a walk down the backroads
Behind your neighbor's house
I know you're afraid
That we're wasting our days
So tonight, we're going out

There's a place by the lake
Where the cool kids used to smoke
They're not here anymore
But it still feels like I'll choke
'Cause every time I
Try and tell you goodbye
All of the words get caught in my throat

Something in the air here always
Makes me wanna run away
But life just isn't fair
The path is narrow, but it's never straight
Maybe I've been wrong and I've been
Gone too long, but I know
One day I'll come running back
To you, the moon, and to Persimmon Grove

Yeah the sky's bleeding gold
And the moon's low to the ground
If you reached out your hands
You could tear the whole thing down
It's just so pretty
Wanna take it with me
A souvenir before I skip town

Something in the air here always
Makes me wanna run away
But life just isn't fair
The path is narrow, but it's never straight
Maybe I've been wrong and I've been
Gone too long, but I know
One day I'll come running back
To you, the moon, and to Persimmon Grove

You don't gotta believe me, but I'm sorry for leaving
The people I love live in places I hate
You don't gotta believe me, but I'm sorry for leaving
The people I love live in places I hate

I don't wanna go back home
So I'm still dragging my feet
Through the grass and the rocks
'Till it fades into the street
You see it so clear
Tell me I belong here
I've never heard a lie that's so sweet

Something in the air here always
Makes me wanna run away
But life just isn't fair
The path is narrow, but it's never straight
Maybe I've been wrong and I've been
Gone too long, but I know
One day I'll come running back
To you, the moon, and to Persimmon Grove
