minnesota

Minnesota hasn’t been so nice to me
All the cold and missing home and family
And she, a mystery

Minnesota is reddening my cheeks
All the snow and wishing bones and fantasies
That she will ski on home to me

Ski on home to me
Ooo
Ski on home to me
Ooo

Cold coffee on the stove
Black crewneck and your coat
And a hole in the wall

Mmm

Damn that stray polaroid
It caught me by surprise
Now rage
Rage is falling from my eyes
A hole in the wall

And the walls go up
Let ‘em all fall down
Let ‘em all fall down
And the walls go up
Let ‘em all fall down
Let ‘em all fall down
Let ‘em all fall down
In the sound

Mmm

That stray polaroid
Is leveling out my art
That stray polaroid
Is leveling out my heart

Is it bad I wanna take you dancing
In the middle of a national park
It all started with a sunset conversation
Back in Cleveland in August
Under the stars

When you told me about the scar on your leg
Trading cards of all our near death experiences
And you said I’m being tested
Not to take this life for granted
Because it’s precious and I’ve only got one
I wanna live it

Open hearted, open heart
Open hearted, open heart

Is it bad I wanna take it slow
Till I know you like the flowers
Growing down my hometown roads
Am I mad if I already know
That with you I’d fly
Across the globe

Open hearted
Open heart 
Open heart
Open arms
Open heart

Is it bad I wanna take you dancing
In the middle of a national park

Said you have trouble going back home
Rest your head on my chest
Lamenting orchards overgrown

pasture girl, one with the horses
Running faster won’t outrun your emotions

So hum

Head to head, lightning in our eyes
Show me the scars inside

pasture girl, one with the horses
Running faster won’t outrun your emotions

So hum
So hum
So hum
So hum
So hum

Pasture girl, out there in the open
Run faster now into the present moment
The present moment
