​Make Blankets Your Yard

Don't be afraid to lay in the grass
Make blankets your yard
Make blankets your yard
Don't be afraid to have the window open
Make shirts your warmth, oh
Make the heat come in
Don't try to spit out all the oil in your belly
Give lights to dark and don't wear that raincoat!

Cause a song is a backyard with too many trees and not enough grass
But if you sing it long enough, well, at least you'll be singing
And maybe every note that comes out of your chest
Will turn back from its noise and harmonize your breath

Soon, I will lose myself, Lake Erie
I won't come back to shore without the light
So give us all a song to sing for sleeping
And we'll etch our voices out into the night
