The Buildings, Then the Trees - Monzano

詞：Sjur Lyseid

曲：Sjur Lyseid

I touched the ground and let my brain make its demands

Sometimes you know they aren't true

Beneath the neon signs I saw shadows holding hands

Blinked twice then reviewed

Here on the south side of the park

There are tourist traps and dive bars

We know we've walked these streets before

Without knowing what we're looking for

In this city that you've claimed as yours

Just to dull our senses to the core

Forgive them and please pretend

That you don't share my growing sentiment

That all of this soon ends

And forgive me if you can still breathe

Though there's this itching in your throat

That you can't shake or even try to put at ease

Now there's a tug-o-war straining on your vocal chords

And only spite is slipping out

But forgive those foul and bitter nouns

Forgive the verbs you can't pronounce

Forgive the buildings then the trees

Forgive me I can still breathe

Though there's this rattling in my spine

That I can't shake or put at ease

Forgive them they're still your friends

Send those memories into orbit

Let us watch while they burn as they descend

'Cause by this time last year

Everything will seem younger

And you will be on to me the way I'm on to you

By this time last year

Every beat will feel stronger

And you will make peace

With the buildings and the trees

By this time last year

Everything will seem younger

By this time last year

Every beat will feel stronger
