Emmy the Great Follow

In the middle of September
We entertained the thought of falling into rabbit holes and never coming out
In the garden of a girl who's mum is friends with Elton John
So she kept telling us
We just let it pass

And slipped a year or so behind ourselves
The time's already gone,
When people were just people not the jobs that they perform
Our songs were just a thing we did with melody's and chords
Now you're available in all good record stores.

But I knew you best back when love was just a feeling that ran out between my legs
Onto the, back of my dress
Onto the clothes that i was wearing

When I was a child I was expected to believe
In something up above that no one touches or can see
But now they tell me that unless you're looking out of magazines
Well then you don't exist but I knew that you were real
Before I read it in an interview today
Before I used you as a surface - did a line across your face
In the toilet of a girl who's sitting outside dropping names like they were carpet bombs, She knows everyone

But, I knew you first back when love was underneath you with my fingers in the dirt
You said "I'll stop if it hurts"
You said "I'll stop it if it's scary,"
You said "you know that I can stop this any time,
If you think that it is tearing"
And I think of you when the leaves are brown,

I think of places where we could go to now
Until they find us 'til they catch us, 'til they wake us
And we drown until I know where I am
I'm in a garden of remembering your fingers in my hand
Were like a book made of sand
Was like the book that I was reading
Was like the book that I had with me all the time
To tell me I was breathing

And it's the middle of September.
Your image starts to fade into the one that they have printed on the 27th page
Don't like to read these things, you know I do it anyway
I have no choice, have no choice I say

And I go out into the garden the birds begin to sing
I am troubled by the thought of all the daylight they will bring
I think that I will let somebody take me home again before the evening ends
I will forget with them that
I.. knew you at all
That my love was underneath you making puddles on the floor
And that I sleep to the thought of two people walking two steps forward alwaysT
To the lives they've chosen
Clicks and hums and sirens
And the sun of two people walking two steps forward always
To the lives they've chosen, clicks and hums and sirens
And the sun of two people walking two steps forward always
To the lives we've chosen clicks and hums and silence and the sun

In the middle of September
We entertained the thought of falling into rabbit holes and never coming out
In the garden of a girl who's mum is friends with Elton John
