The Looper 02:51
I'll see this to the end And you know that I pretend but I Have no more words to send ‘Cause I can’t say nothing at all Now you know I’ll say something right to your face But I can’t say nothing at all You say it never ends But then you say let’s just be friends and I Tell you that my circuits bend ‘Cause I can’t say nothing at all Now you know I’ll say something right to your face But I can’t say nothing at all I start this fight, you know that I can’t win You seem uptight, you say baby please no more Tonight, you know that I will win I’m ready to fight, you say baby please no more, no more I’ll step on out the car You know I’ll go way too far but I Just want to be your star ‘Cause I can’t say nothing at all Now you know I’ll say something right to your face But I can’t say nothing at all

On the cemetery lawn In the days since you have gone There’s no sign of you at all And I know That I long to say so long again And I wonder to myself Is it up to you? You fell asleep and crashed my car And said I drove you way too far Everybody says you're a lost, Lonely cause And you try to spin off the motorway And I wonder to myself What you’re gonna do You can take my keys and follow me down, down the open the road Please just take the wheel and step on the gas, let my engines roll Until we get back home Wide awake back in your room You try to fly me to the moon The sky will rise and fall today You hide away And the light it shines so bright again And I wonder to myself Do you miss me too? So please…follow me down, down the open the road And we...can step on the gas, let my engines roll Until we get back home

I laugh it off like a tomcat in love I breeze Ayn Rand and the Atlas Shrugged I don’t care, I don’t care My pencils write and I get home late I wait for Jane because she’s my baby I don’t care, I don’t care I know your name and I’m to blame I can’t wake up it’s all the same And I don’t want to know where it’s all gone Like open windows and hanging wire I wanna believe but I’m just so tired I don’t care, I don’t care I watch the clock and it’s time to go The sun comes up and we’re almost home I don’t care, I don’t care
4.
One more time around the sun, you run for your life The forever poets and black clouds rain down this time This broken sadness raises Cain, it’s all the same tonight The late greats haunt me to the grave, she waves goodbye Waves goodbye With just a sigh The only time So don’t you cry my favorite son, you’re turning numb but you don’t want to come home This time I give you all my guns, my son, aim high I tell you all my secrets then begin to fly Though built to last you rise to give, just live in time So beaten down without a sound, this town, so bright Just so bright My only light Wave goodbye You burned out brightly like the sun, your time has come and now you want to go home

about

Secret Sleep's Arbor Day EP is a four-song companion record to their album Conveyor, featuring acoustic-based songs and stripped down arrangements. Inspired by artists such as Neil Young and Uncle Tupelo, Arbor Day is an attempt to capture a quieter and warmer sound. This EP features acoustic versions of previous Secret Sleep songs as well as two brand new tunes.
