Leaves In The Gutter EP, Merge Records / 2009

If I seem out of it,
I've just gone to find you, Ill be back in a bit.
Circles close up, but circles are wide.
We'll be wearing wigs and costumes, won't need any hole to hide.

When I learned to walk, humans roamed the earth.
I can't hold my breath anymore, I stopped swiming and learned to surf.
When I learned to talk, I found words that weren't worth dirt.
I can't hold my breath anymore, I stopped sinking and learned to surf.

If I drift out in channels way too deep,
It's cause I can't stand the shifting sand and shells under our feet.
Put your suitcase down, and leave your shoes
Gently by the door, in a puddle with your blues.

When I learned to walk humans roamed the earth.
I can't hold my breath anymore, I stopped swimming and learned to surf.
When I learned to talk, I found words that weren't worth dirt.
I can't hold my breath anymore, I stopped sinking and learned to surf.

When I learned to walk, you know, humans roamed the earth.
I can't hold my breath anymore, I stopped swimming and learned to surf.
When I learned to talk, I found words that weren't worth dirt,
Heavy like the rocks we carry, I stopped sinking and learned to surf.

I stopped sinking and learned to surf,
I learned to surf.
