Wes Dorethy - The Veeries Lyrics

Well, it's getting dark again this year
All the colors turn to red and blue and green
You know some mornings I still wanna be someone
But I get distracted by just about everything

And she stays on her phone most nights
I can feel the tension tight like a string
She says it's mostly in my mind
I shouldn't worry about so many things

But I can feel the weight pushing down
As heavy as the North Atlantic clouds
The Veeries are leaving real early again
And for all intents and purposes
Better get home, better never let you go

Before we're blown away
Might never come back
Before we're blown away
It always ends up like that
Why does everything I hold too tightly die

When you're in, I'm out
When you're up, I'm down
You're waltzing slow
And I'm out stomping around
We try and we reach for the best we can be
But who can predict the falling of every leaf

And the weight pushing down
As heavy as the North Atlantic clouds
The Veeries are leaving real early again
And for all intents and purposes
Better get home, better never let you go

Before we're blown away
Might never come back
Before it's blown
Why does everything I hold too tightly
Slip right through my hands
Everything held tightly slips away

And the temperature drops
The wind's picking up
We both know what's going to come
The temperature drops
And the wind's picking up
God only knows the forces in us

The change in the weather
Pulls us together
Then tears us apart
