The Shins Lyrics by Flake Music

When You Land Here, It’s Time to Return

0

Is it too near when they're nice?
Is that why there's sand in your eyes?
You should look up cause they're nothing at all
Blow me a kiss and I'll try
Wade through the mud and return wearing white
Hanging like clothes on a line
And I'll wait for you to spend all of your time
Waiting like grapes on a vine
All of the goals you have yet to design
Wheels are off the track
I'm dripping everywhere
Eyes are in the clouds
While they pull the rug out
Pull me to the track
I'll give this a try
Down's the wrong way out
Force yourself to climb
But you'll look back and wonder why
What made it so hard to decide
When the difference isn't black and white
Well, it's sad we'll always have to fight for our own
Is it too near when they're nice?
Is that why there's sand in your eyes?
Don't wait, it's hard to get around when you're old
Blow me a kiss and I'll try
We'll scale the walls that go five miles high
We'll scale the walls that go five miles high
Wheels are off the track
I'm dripping everywhere
Eyes are in the clouds
While they pull the rug out
Pull me to the track
I'll give this a try
Down's the wrong way out
Force yourself to climb
But you'll look back and wonder why
What made it so hard to decide
When the difference isn't black and white
Well, it's sad we'll always have to fight for our own
Wheels are off the track
I'm dripping everywhere
Eyes are in the clouds
While they pull the rug out
Wheels are off the track
