lyrics

August evening cloudy skies keep me believing where to go,
Familiar wilderness has helped me shed the bitterness in my soul,
And all the company who speak and show their love for me by the fire,
They are just like us old souls don't judge our justly shared desires.

Now these trees chasing after me,
Now we're pounding pavement,
Might have missed a few payments.

I don't know why but this is just the perfect place to be right now,
Like a dream in which the movie of your life plays tranquil sound,
Fall with the rain at least it doesn't make you feel like you're alone,
Twelve empty bottles till you still don't realize no one else is home.

Now these trees chasing after me,
Now we're pounding pavement,
Remember playing in the basement,
Now these trees chasing after me,
Now we're pounding pavement,
Might have missed a few payments.

And it seems so long ago but nothing's changed,
When those dreams blow through the trees,
Yeah they call my name,
They call my name when I need you, babe.

I thought the universe had bigger dreams than purses overflowed,
But what's a dollar if your heart keeps growing smaller don't you know,
Don't you know, oh.

Now these trees chasing after me,
Now we're pounding pavement,
Remember playing in the basement,
Now these trees chasing after me,
Now we're pounding pavement,
Might have missed a few payments.

August evening cloudy skies keep me believing...
