Pinstripe Lyrics

There is no need to throw your arms around
And there is no need to ask unless there is some doubt
If you are comfortable with two feet on the ground
You don't need wings now
Have you set down your course or are you out of control, my dear?
Are you accidentally part of some involuntary movement here?
We thought we knew it so well we could do it with our arms tied behind our backs
And our eyes shut tight
I thought I knew it so well I could stop
So I stopped and we can't start again
Stand under the hole in your roof
Let the rain come in and fall down on your head
It's a simple joy you can bring upon yourself
It's a simple something new, something else
Trees stand in a perfect line
Trees stand at attention
Not much time has passed
But already she likes concrete better than grass
And I don't think we'll last
So I stare up at the sky and it hurts my eyes
Maybe I'll go blind
Maybe all I'll see is, all I'll see is sunshine
Sunshine
Just trying to sound
I'm not trying to sound
I don't wanna sound like this
You're the last day of april every year
You're grey, feeling for something anything, you can't have
Oversize, owning the road
Pulled by a current, tossed over in the wind
You focus your sights and try
To stare up at the sky
And it hurts your eyes
Maybe you'll go blind
Or maybe all you'll see is, all you'll see is sunshine
Sunshine
Walk in a straight line
You waste energy in the daytime
You know exactly what you're doing, doing
Sometimes

There is no need to throw your arms around
And there is no need to ask unless there is some doubt
If you are comfortable with two feet on the ground
You don't need wings now
Have you set down your course or are you out of control, my dear?
Are you accidentally part of some involuntary movement here?
We thought we knew it so well we could do it with our arms tied behind our backs
And our eyes shut tight
I thought I knew it so well I could stop
So I stopped and we can't start again
Stand under the hole in your roof
Let the rain come in and fall down on your head
It's a simple joy you can bring upon yourself
It's a simple something new, something else
Trees stand in a perfect line
Trees stand at attention
Not much time has passed
But already she likes concrete better than grass
And I don't think we'll last
So I stare up at the sky and it hurts my eyes
Maybe I'll go blind
Maybe all I'll see is, all I'll see is sunshine
Sunshine
Just trying to sound
I'm not trying to sound
I don't wanna sound like this
You're the last day of april every year
You're grey, feeling for something anything, you can't have
Oversize, owning the road
Pulled by a current, tossed over in the wind
You focus your sights and try
To stare up at the sky
And it hurts your eyes
Maybe you'll go blind
Or maybe all you'll see is, all you'll see is sunshine
Sunshine
Walk in a straight line
You waste energy in the daytime
You know exactly what you're doing, doing
Sometimes
