The Things That Everybody Does Lyrics - See You On The Moon - Tift Merritt

Everybody told me this is who you have to be 

My hands in my pockets as deep as they go 

I walked home and packed up my cases to leave 

I walked all over this country 

I went down to the sea 

I talked a lot with the sun and the sky 

I didn't talk much with anyone else really 

These are the things that everybody does 

I always wondered what was all the fuss 

I never knew exactly what it was 

Till there was you 

Till there was you 

Till there was you 

You found me up in the attic, singing down to the leaves 

You caught me reading love letters aloud 

To horses and children, to stars and to trees 

These are the things that everybody does 

I always wondered what was all the fuss 

I never knew exactly what it was 

Till there was you 

Till there was you 

Till there was you 

But a mountain is still a mountain 

A mountain goes to the sea 

No matter what I'd like to pretend 

No matter what I'd like it to be 

No, I don't have to stay here 

I could fly off and leave 

On the wings of a unicorn's breast 

My typewriter strapped with diamonds to my chest 

But how could I go with breakfast not over yet? 

These are the things that everybody does 

I always wondered what was all the fuss 

But what a lovely morning that it was 

When there was you 

When there was you 

When there was you 

When there was you
