Back In The Tall Grass Lyrics - Singles - Future Islands

Home isn't open 

It's like, when you get here 

The tracks by the creek bed 

The minnow's the body 

Crawdads with their heads down low 

Back in the tall grass 

Stinging my cattails oh! 

Looking for brother 

It feels like winter 

But it's the heart of the summer 

We can't go swimming 

As long as we slumber 

- 

Cuz we're a long way from home 

A long way from home 

How did we get here? 

--- 

One step takes me home 

Two steps back on my own 

Three skips to each stone 

Four steps back and I'm gone 

------ 

And I wanted you to know 

I was thinking about you 

And you look like a rose 

Especially, when I'm a long way from home 

--- 

A long way from home 

- 

How did we get here? 

Back to the body 

Words jump like salmon 

One step takes me home 

Two steps back on my own 

Three skips to each stone 

Four steps back and I'm gone 

(Chorus) 

In that backwater 

Running through the woods 

In that red water 

In the mirror 

Thinking of you 

Spend all day just thinking of you 

In the mirror thinking of you 

Spend my days just thinking of you 

(Chorus) 

Long way from home 

(Long way from home) 

Long way from home 

(Long way from home) 

Long way from home...
