Neocentrics - I Felt The Ground

The sound of the waves take me back
To when you and I were dancing in them
Then you saw a log on the other side
And you went to go grab it, I think
But the current was too strong
Then you said "so long
I'm going back to where I came from."
But you stayed inside, and you liked it a lot
Now I'm going back to that same spot
Walking down the dirt road in my mind
Smelling something that I can not describe
And there are little kids, just messing around
Surprised they've never seen this part of town
Pick up a stick, wave it like a sword
Feel like a dog who walks on water
Then there's mud in your shoes
And a mountain top on your head
And when I left the basement, you were still there
Trying to figure out what's in the air
The line in the sand, it's up and out of my hands
Fighting nature, but you can't
Such division, our gravity is choking up
My hands are numb, and my blood is lost...
Ooo...
But when I felt the ground, my head was upside down
Thinking up ways on how to skip town
Bleeding on the floor, there's anger at the door
Shots fired, now you're scared and bored
The taste in my mouth, the sight of the state park
From the creek, I can see the crushed bark
And the trees are green with love and hope
But now Father Time is giving up...
In love with someone who I never liked
We kissed and laughed beneath the gray sunlight
Band was setting up down on the dirt road
Besides a mountain that I once knew
The weight of the bass shook the rocks and stones
Singer wanted a peek, so he gave me his phone
Then I closed my eyes, and there I was
In front of the house, all white and dead
Now the sky is dark, and the water's cold
The leaves turn brown and start to grow old
It's been half a year, and my body's still here
Eating pizza and shedding more tears
And those little kids are still messing around
Not in the way you're thinking of
Hope Sputnik landed safe and sound
Hope he found the long way out...
You didn't die
Your soul's still swirling through the sky
If that were really gone
Then I'd sit back and float on
Making plans for a year you know could never happen
Well, you and I both know
That this isn't home
Anymore...
