Scarecrow Lyrics - Shish Boom Bam - Rustic Overtones

Hundred miles away, memories stay 

That covered bridge where our names are still engraved 

You turned to go; I turned to leave 

Then you turned to go, and I turned to leaves 

In the cool shade of a sycamore tree, 

I paint a perfect portrait of how it used to be 

When I'm alone my mind it slows 

You can paint a smiling face on a scarecrow 

But I know myself, I can't be like that 

I can't help myself, I will always cry 

Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf 

Put on my favorite smile 

So far away, in my high state 

In my head, it's all I want to think about 

But I stop instead, I got to learn to live without 

It'll be easier in the end 

When I thought I lost another I can learn to lose a friend 

But I know myself, I can't be like that 

I can't help myself, I will always cry 

Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf 

Put on my favorite smile 

So far away, in my high state 

Under a stone in the back, I've grown a flower for you, dear 

A flower that's so beautiful it may now be flying up here 

I water it every day and I rip out every weed 

How could I just let it wilt, but it will for just a seed 

But I know myself, I can't be like that 

I can't help myself, I will always cry 

Keep my frown in a jar on a shelf 

Put on my favorite smile 

So far away, in my high state
