Mat Kerekes – Hawthorne lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lay down underneath the hawthorne
Staring through your cross hairs, waiting on the cue to pull
Well, it has been a long haul with no one there to cheer you on
And now you're looking tired as hell
With question marks along your arm
Lay down underneath the hawthorne
Hanging off the fire escape with nothing there to break the fall
I was just a kid back then, everything has been written off
Now I am your protection and you are someone I adore

[Chorus]
I saw you running through the halls with your hair undone
You had no care at all
And I saw you dancing in the storm with your arms up
You had no care at all

[Verse 2]
Lay down underneath the hawthorne
It's now we start to question all of the things that we've been told
The hours come in unison, since when did I become so boring?
I'm drawing out the perfect scene but it always leads me to confusion

[Chorus]
I saw you, back against the wall, swinging at everyone
You had no care at all
And I saw you dancing in the storm with your arms up
You had no care at all

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I saw you singing your favorite song with your eyes shut
As loud as you could
And I saw you dancing in the storm with both hands up
You didn't care at all
