Tall Heights Only Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If it was only in our heads, only in our dreams
Nothing we ever spoke of nothing evergreen
You know I dreamed we were hunted by lions thirsting for red
So we hid out in the brambles played like we were dead
Never terrified of what that might mean

[Chorus]
Why is it clinging to life this longing that should now be dead?
Why do I need you feelin' your claws in my back?
I got a few ideas and an image of you in my bed

[Verse 2]
If it was only a mirage, a hopeless scene
Nothing close to water, nothing so serene
You know I dreamed we were walking a wire across a ravine
Locked in on each other then I hear you scream
But I never saw you open your mouth

[Chorus]
Why is it clinging to life this longing that should now be dead?
Why do I need you feelin' your claws in my back?
I got a few ideas and an image of you in my bed

[Verse 3]
If it was only for the foolish decision to careen
Nothing that you walk from nothing so clean
You know I dreamed of the end of the world
That old nightmare routine
I found you in a closet with your mother's old tureen
You said here's one fear I had not confirmed

[Chorus]
Why is it clinging to life this longing that should now be dead?
Why do I need you feelin' your claws in my back?
I got a few ideas and an image of you in my bed
I got two ideas and an image of your claws in my back
