Round Here

[00:23.77] Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
[00:27.35] Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
[00:33.68] And in between the moon and you
[00:35.77] The angels get a better view
[00:38.38] Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
[00:42.13] Well, I walk in the air between the rain
[00:45.33] Through myself and back again
[00:48.08] Where? I don't know
[00:53.36] Maria says she's dying
[00:55.82] Through the door, I hear her crying
[00:58.37] Why? I don't know
[01:02.82] 'Round here,we always stand up straight
[01:12.07] 'Round here, something radiates
[01:21.68]
[01:24.31] Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
[01:28.28] She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
[01:33.94] And she walks along the edge
[01:36.86] Of where the ocean meets the land
[01:38.86] Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
[01:43.62] She parks her car outside of my house
[01:48.19] And takes her clothes off
[01:49.93] Says she's close to understanding Jesus
[01:54.63] And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
[01:59.28] She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
[02:04.13] 'Round here, we're carving out our names
[02:14.54] 'Round here, we all look the same
[02:25.04] 'Round here, we talk just like lions
[02:29.64] But we sacrifice like lambs
[02:35.27]
[02:38.50] 'Round here, she's slipping through my hands
[02:45.09] Woah oh oh
[02:48.89] Sleeping children better run like the wind
[02:53.76] Out of the lightning dream
[02:59.07] Mama's little baby better get herself in
[03:03.83] Out of the lightning
[03:08.44] She says it's only in my head
[03:14.25] She says, shh, I know it's only in my head
[03:27.52] But the girl on the car in the parking lot
[03:30.48] Says, Man, you should try to take a shot
[03:33.29] Can't you see my walls are crumbling?
[03:37.40] Then she looks up at the building
[03:40.34] Says she's thinking of jumping
[03:42.60] She says she's tired of life
[03:44.77] She must be tired of something
[03:47.76] 'Round here, she's always on my mind
[03:53.81]
[03:59.88] 'Round here, hey man, got lots of time
[04:07.97] 'Round here, we're never sent to bed early
[04:13.33] And nobody makes us wait
[04:18.70] 'Round here, we stay up very, very, very, very late
[04:28.03] I, I can't see nothin', nothin' 'round here
[04:36.90] You catch me if I'm fallin', you catch me if I'm fallin'
[04:41.13] Will you catch me? 'Cause I'm fallin' down on you
[04:47.83] I said I'm under the gun, 'round here
[04:53.84] I'm innocent, I'm under the gun, 'round here
[05:04.65]
[05:09.65] And I can't see nothin', nothin' 'round here
[05:20.81]
