The Heights of Trees Songtext
von The Kite String Tangle

I barely recognise myself in hotel mirrors
I got bored before I found myself
That night I disappeared
If I could find the plug
I′d pull it out when I am clean
And left would be just you and me
Not this ocean in between

And you never stopped your toe growing up
And now that's all you think about
So close to the surface
But still can′t breathe or break it
Sucked into the bells of trumpets
Shot out to the heights of trees
The kind you only ever see
In TV documentaries

And I don't care what you're saying
′Cause nothing ever happens for a reason
Well, that′s what I am told
That's what I am told


Let′s head south and settle in
'Cause this city has no sentiment
Pick the fruit ripe like a din
Wooden faces on our money
My hands are rough, but you don′t mind
The silence hangs for the longest time
I swear I feel your skin on mine
You can scuff my shoes, but not my mind

You never stopped your toe growing up
And now that's all you think about
So close to the surface
But still can′t breathe or break it
Sucked into the bells of trumpets
Shot out to the heights of trees
The kind you only ever see
In TV documentaries

And I don't care what you're saying
′Cause nothing ever happens for a reason
Well, that′s what I am told

You never stopped your toe growing up
And now that's all you think about
So close to the surface
But still can′t breathe or break it
Sucked into the bells of trumpets
Shot out to the heights of trees
The kind you only ever see
In TV documentaries


And I don't care what you′re saying
'Cause nothing ever happens for a reason
Well, that′s what I am told
