Persimmon Grove Lyrics

Grab your coat and your shoes

'Cause tonight, we're going out

On a walk down the backroads

Behind your neighbor's house

I know you're afraid

That we're wasting our days

So tonight, we're going out

There's a place by the lake

Where the cool kids used to smoke

They're not here anymore

But it still feels like I'll choke

'Cause every time I

Try and tell you goodbye

All of the words get caught in my throat

Something in the air here always

Makes me wanna run away

But life just isn't fair

The path is narrow, but it's never straight

Maybe I've been wrong and I've been

Gone too long, but I know

One day I'll come running back

To you, the moon, and to Persimmon Grove

Yeah the sky's bleeding gold

And the moon's low to the ground

If you reached out your hands

You could tear the whole thing down

It's just so pretty

Wanna take it with me

A souvenir before I skip town

Something in the air here always

Makes me wanna run away

But life just isn't fair

The path is narrow, but it's never straight

Maybe I've been wrong and I've been

Gone too long, but I know

One day I'll come running back

To you, the moon, and to Persimmon Grove

You don't gotta believe me, but I'm sorry for leaving

The people I love live in places I hate

You don't gotta believe me, but I'm sorry for leaving

The people I love live in places I hate

I don't wanna go back home

So I'm still dragging my feet

Through the grass and the rocks

'Till it fades into the street

You see it so clear

Tell me I belong here

I've never heard a lie that's so sweet

Something in the air here always

Makes me wanna run away

But life just isn't fair

The path is narrow, but it's never straight

Maybe I've been wrong and I've been

Gone too long, but I know

One day I'll come running back

To you, the moon, and to Persimmon Grove
