Labyrinth In The Weeds Songtext
I went down an old path, all the way back
In the late summer, long grass
You, in the sunset
Made you a silhouette
Light-leaks and vignettes in a field I cannot forget
I felt it with my bare feet, I felt it in my soles
Running free, running to you, back-lit on the mower
You turn to wave me over
Sunlight in my eyes, and a wall of grass on either side
I see you laughing, but all I hear is the engine
In the late summer, long grass
You, in the sunset
Made you a silhouette
Light-leaks and vignettes in a field I cannot forget
I felt it with my bare feet, I felt it in my soles
Running free, running to you, back-lit on the mower
You turn to wave me over
Sunlight in my eyes, and a wall of grass on either side
I see you laughing, but all I hear is the engine
You made a maze, but I’m small and I can only see the walls
And little gnats and bits of grass floating upwards in your path
A golden snowfall in reverse
You made a labyrinth in the weeds, a labyrinth in the weeds
My speckled legs collected dew just trying to keep up with you
And years after we left that place, I’m older, but I feel the same
Just running through a bigger maze, catching glimpses of your face
Always turning 'round the bend, in and out of sight again
And this new kind of hide-and-seek feels more like a tragedy
Grow my soul, grow it tall, I’ll see over all these winding walls
Laugh with you from way up there, at a path that don’t go anywhere
In all our pointless glory, in our never-ending story
You made a labyrinth out of me, a labyrinth out of me
And little gnats and bits of grass floating upwards in your path
A golden snowfall in reverse
You made a labyrinth in the weeds, a labyrinth in the weeds
My speckled legs collected dew just trying to keep up with you
And years after we left that place, I’m older, but I feel the same
Just running through a bigger maze, catching glimpses of your face
Always turning 'round the bend, in and out of sight again
And this new kind of hide-and-seek feels more like a tragedy
Grow my soul, grow it tall, I’ll see over all these winding walls
Laugh with you from way up there, at a path that don’t go anywhere
In all our pointless glory, in our never-ending story
You made a labyrinth out of me, a labyrinth out of me
