Cross Countries Lyrics by Cecil Otter

Dear Echo

2016

[Verse: Cecil Otter]
Just imagine the roads in the fall
The golden leaves falling on the mold on the logs
The hopes and the gods and the bombs
We set fire to the mold and beyond
And the dawn broke out like it spent a night in Alcatraz
We talking all night about second tries and Cadillacs
We grabbed the axe and buried it
We found shelter in the woods and found savage acts hilarious
The areas, the patience, the habits
Now seek shelter in the basements and the attics
Packets of rookie cards and looky-loo's galore
Crawled away from the moody blues and the war
We swore we'd never leave each other, never sleep again
Until a horde of lovers come to fortify the need in us
The deepest end of the pool, cheaters, sluts, ghouls
They'll feed you to the mutts and the fools
We weren't accustomed to the mistrust, we were just missing school
Missing the bus like we missed the mistrust
And it's a must, it's us and just us, and what's what
And it kills me to think it's all gone, it's just dust
In the window pane where my first kiss came through
In the middle of a full moon, fiddled with the wool plumes covering our eyes
It's like every new move is a surprise
Now we're stepping into every room with the prize
It's like a weapon that's abused for your pride
And the last place you want to hide
The rat race was on the side

[Bridge: Cecil Otter]
High on life, low on the totem pole
We ain't on strike
We're alive like a lie
That's been told to all ears
And we're holding all tears back in
And let the fears back in

[Hook] x4
Fall away from
Fall away from you

[Bridge: Cecil Otter]

[Hook] x4
