Matt Pond Pa - Closest lyrics

look out

there is danger even in the simple word hello

hiding in the reeds

you would not believe where darkness goes

discovery

is the warmth of eyes that leaves us lying in defeat

from the tallest trees

it's still too hard to see

where darkness goes

tell me

tell me there's going to be time left

tell me i'm stupid and i don't have to worry

with the green eyes

the green that comes from reflection

the blankets that do so well to protect us

it's made up

the requests have all been effected

with distortion and a hiss that's not undetected

and the greenness

it comes from a window

or a picture or a movie i've never been into

flashlights

try to pull the color from the corners we don't know

when light is not implied

there's no way to decide

what's right or wrong

tell me

tell me there's time left

it's not worth it

worth it to worry

the green eyes

the green from reflection

the blankets there to protect us

it's been made up

the requests are effected

with distortion and hiss is undetected

and the greenness

comes from a window

or a movie i've never been into

and you go in

go cause you have to

with the lights dim

credits start rolling

the action though it's before us

we look sideways and act like it's boring tonight
