Back In The Tall Grass

FUTURE ISLANDS · Singles 2014 · Track 05 of 10

Written by Future Islands

Home isn't open It's like, when you get there The tracks by the creek bed The minnow's the body Crawdads with their heads down low Back in the tall grass Stinging my cattails oh! Lokking for brother It feels like winter But it's the heart of the summer We can't go swimming As long as we slumber

Cuz we're a long way from home A long way from home How did we get here?

One step takes me home Two steps back on my own Three skips to each stone Four steps back and I'm gone

And I wanted you to know I was thinking about you And you look like a rose Especially, when I'm a long way from home

A long way from home

How did we get here? Back to the body Words jump like salmon

One step takes me home Two steps back on my own Three skips to each stone Four steps back and I'm gone

And I wanted you to know I was thinking about you And you look like a rose Especially, when I'm a long way from home

In that backwater Running through the woods In that red water In the mirror Thinking of you

Spend all day just thinking of you In the mirror thinking of you Spend my days just thinking of you

And I wanted you to know I was thinking about you And you look like a rose Especially, when I'm a long way from home

Long way from home (Long way from home) Long way from home (Long way from home) Long way from home…
