Parking Lot from Skyland by Skyland

Look at the garden and the plants that you seeded
Look at your cut and the blood that you bleeded
Look at the tree and the bird that just tweeted away
Pouring water on the ground so you feed it
It’s hard to wait for a change when you need it
The fruit will be ready any day

Look at the feet when the tide comes a creepin
Look at the boat as it glides through the deep and
Go for a float let the current pull you away
Salt water all around so you’re treadin’
A nice change from the land where you’re sweatin’
Keep forgettin that time’s never gettin’ away

The road stretches out like a parking lot
Both ways up and down the hill
No time to kill ‘coz I don’t get a lot
Just seems like a waste
Just need to get some space

Look at the child as it cries for no reason
Look at your skin and the change with the season
We’re all getting older every day
Look at the wall when the whole world is sleepin’
Look at your phone ‘coz that shit’s always beepin’
Everyone’s always got something to say

The road stretches out like a parking lot
Both ways up and down the hill
No time to kill ‘coz I don’t get a lot
Just seems like a waste
Just need to get some space

Pouring coffee when you’re running on nothing
It’s hard to breathe when you’re waiting for something
It’ll all make sense someday
