Round Here

Counting Crows

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
where no one notices the contrast of white on white 
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right 
I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again 
Where? I don't know 
Maria says she's dying through the door I hear her crying 
Why? I don't know 

Round here we always stand up straight 
Round here something radiates 

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand 
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis 
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land 
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus 
She parks her car outside of my house 
Takes her clothes off 
Says she's close to understanding Jesus 
She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood 
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous 

Round here we're carving out our names 
Round here we all look the same 
Round here we talk just like lions 
But we sacrifice like lambs 
Round here she's slipping through my hands 

Sleeping children better run like the wind 
Out of the lightning dream 
Mama's little baby better get herself in 
Out of the lightning 

She says it's only in my head 
She says Shhh I know it's only in my head 
But the girl on car in the parking lot says 
"Man you should try to take a shot 
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?" 
Then she looks up at the building and says she's thinking of jumping 
She says she's tired of life she must be tired of something 

Round here she's always on my mind 
Round here hey man got lots of time 
Round here we're never sent to bed early 
And nobody makes us wait 
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late 

I, I can't see nothing, nothing, round here 
Oh and you catch me if I'm falling 
You catch me if I'm falling 
You catch me cause I'm falling down on you 
I said I'm under decoy (?) round here 
Oh man, I said I'm under decoy (?) round here 
And I can't see nothing, nothing, round here
