lyrics

Spent the afternoon counting stars
at least the ones I hoped to see
the ones that shine beyond the reach
of their own burned out reality

Oh please oh please...

When we die bury all our good good things
above the ground

So we rode our bikes to the place
where the headstones and memory play
perched up on the elephant cliffs
breathing in the mouth of yesterday

Oh please oh please...

The sun it starts to cut its head off
and bleed its beauty on the lake
we can build up our lives with fireworks
and still just fade away
so when we die bury all our good good things
above the ground

So we looked up to the sky once more
felt tears floating down our skin
the kind that scrub your closets clean
and highlight your love instead

Oh please oh please...

And the wind breaks the glass of the lake
and the evening pulls the shadows from the shade
and the stars start to flower like its spring
showered in the mist of milky rain

Oh please oh please...

I saw the sun it cut its head off
and bled its beauty on the lake
we can build up our lives with fireworks
and still just fade away
so when we die bury all our good good things
above the ground
