A Light In The Trees

(album: Figure - 2020)

We talked a hustle in the smoke beneath the cover of noise
We saved our quarters up for months to play alongside the boys
And we write on the walls at night
Save me a space in line, a space in line

We split the difference and the loser had to pay for the drinks
We took the long way through Ann Arbor just to hear what she thinks
We put our trust into the night, we were the light in the trees
And I slept alone inside my car but held the smile for weeks

We put our distance on the dashboard of your Subaru
We exercised the excuse
We shared our secrets while your windshield told us what was coming
But couldn't follow through or see the truth

So we write on the walls at night
Save me a space in line
We write on the walls at night
Save me a space in line
