lyrics

I’m watching the rocks
You’re watching the birds
I’m moving geology
You’re functioning verbs
You’re capturing motion
I’m thick as a brick
You’re developing notions
But I’m making them stick

Oh, I was petrified by the moments in my life
I became fossilized, tectonic pressure in my mind
But I won’t be a stone from now on

You fly south for winter
Passing over my hills
You chase down the summer
I’ll last longer than the sunrise will
It must be so nice
To see things from the air
You’re free to cast glances
All I can do is stare

Scattered by the wind, a rolling stone’s the only home you’ve known
Once you have your roots, you’re finally free to grow
And you won’t won’t need a stone from now on

Oh, I was petrified by the moments in my life
I became fossilized, tectonic pressure in my mind
But I won’t be a stone from now on
