Hawthorne - Mat Kerekes

Lay down underneath the hawthorne

Staring through your cross hairs, waiting on the cue to pull

Well, it has been a long haul with no one there to cheer you on

And now you’re looking tired as hell

With question marks along your arm

Lay down underneath the hawthorne

Hanging off the fire escape with nothing there to break the fall

I was just a kid back then, everything has been written off

Now I am your protection and you are someone I adore

I saw you running through the halls with your hair undone

You had no care at all

And I saw you dancing in the storm with your arms up

You had no care at all

Lay down underneath the hawthorne

It’s now we start to question all of the things that we’ve been told

The hours come in unison, since when did I become so boring?

I’m drawing out the perfect scene but it always leads me to confusion

I saw you, back against the wall, swinging at everyone

You had no care at all

And I saw you dancing in the storm with your arms up

You had no care at all

I saw you singing your favorite song with your eyes shut

As loud as you could

And I saw you dancing in the storm with both hands up

You didn’t care at all
