Lyrics Foster the People

Foster the People

Goats in Trees

Well I was caught inside the wreck never found my way out

I was filled with indifference

The animals they were getting tired

So I sang them a song

'Cause they promised not to take too long

Well I can't find my way back home

I'll listen to you if you want me to

But you have to share a smoke

Yeah I've been runnin' against the wind

And I can't hear the angels calling

The madness has been pulling me right back

(Don't give up on me now)

Out of my stride

I feel the change in the rising tide

And blood is in the room

I buried all my wrongs there with my youth

(Don't give up on me now)

I'm on the outside

And I'm falling apart

Whoa yeah

Well please to meet you, excuse my hands

I've been bitten by an enemy that's pretended to be my friend

No I never wanted to be like them

I thought I was just too clever

To be brought down to their level

Of misfortuned chagrin

I don't care now what it's worth

But if you lift this burden off my back

I'll follow you to the bloody end

I've lived my life the way I want

But no one can tell me they're not afraid

Of the freedom of deliverance

Well I take it all in stride

I feel the change in the rising tide

And someone's in the room

I buried all my guilt there with my youth

(Don't give up on me now)

And I'm on the outside

And it's warm on the outside

That's a lie

I don't wanna fall apart...

Yeah, well me I've been afraid

I clawed and I fought like hell

The darkest days upon you

Yeah, well me I've gone astray

My blood was turning to sand

The darkest days upon you

Yeah, well me I've been afraid

The numbness was gettin' closer

The feverish days upon you

Woo...
