Migration

[Verse 1]
Walked alone into the creek
And the water came up to my shoulders
Didn't know it got so deep
But I laid there on my back for hours
I know the shadows and their shape
But everything will find its place

[Verse 2]
Climbed a hill to watch the geese
Form an arrow moving south
[Form until?]
Since the summer all the trees
Shed their skin down to the bare essentials
The cold just strips them 'til they're dry
It leaves more room to see the sky

[Chorus]
I came the closest to praying
Than I ever have last night
After the days spent parading
With my folding pocket knife
Well, I'm a girl, I'm just playing
I know nothing of real life
Maybe I'll take a migration
And end up somewhere nice

[Verse 3]
I drove 20 minutes out
Just to see the sun go down a valley
Then when everything was dark
I still sat there as the park got empty
I like the clouds when it is dusk
But no one waits 'til they show up

[Chorus]
I came the closest to praying
Than I ever have last night
After the day I spent waiting
For the sun to subside
Well, I'm a girl, I'm just playing
I know nothing of real life
Maybe I'll take a migration
And end up somewhere

[Bridge]
Why do we plant our feet?
There must be better ways to be
I've seen all there is to see
I thought I'd try to escape it
But I guess I always knew
That you never really do

[Chorus]
I came the closest to praying
Than I ever have last night
After day, after day
After night, after night
And I am always reminded
I know nothing of real life
Maybe I'll take a migration
And end up somewhere nice
