Where Something Wild Still Grows - The Pines

Oh, the mercury is on its knees

Some ghost comes along to light the stars

My heart is the weight of unclaimed freight

And that’s as far, and I see how far

And we’re out of the wild and into the tame

And even God has moved indoors

Love is fired at us from point blank range

There’s no shelter in a perfect storm

So come to me

Through the trees

Past the city

Beyond the glow

We’ll find a place

In this world

Where something wild

Still grows

So I pledge allegiance to the land

Despite the USA

If we format our dreams to fit our screens

We’ll have less and less to say

And the sunrise over kiss is so easy to miss

Have to show up in person in old time

And, oh man, what a mess

How things get blessed

Across the universe

On one thing dime

So come to me

Through the trees

Past the city

Beyond the glow

We’ll find a place

In this world

Where something wild

Still grows

Run to me

Through the trees

Past the city

Beyond the glow

We’ll find a place

In this world

Where something wild

Still grows
