《Oaks》歌词

[00:00:01] Oaks - The Hold Steady

[00:00:19] There were days from last week

[00:00:22] I couldn't quite complete

[00:00:25] Skipped ahead to the next afternoon

[00:00:32] Sweat through the sheets

[00:00:35] Slept in my shoes

[00:00:38] Hung around with the House of Balloons

[00:00:48] Keep the speed steady

[00:00:51] Hold the wheel straight

[00:00:54] We scratch and we scrape

[00:00:57] We're scared then we're brave

[00:01:01] The kids on the corner making eyes at the cars

[00:01:07] If you want to saved all it takes is a wave

[00:01:26] There were kids at the car wash

[00:01:30] That said they could get it

[00:01:32] Gave them half but they never came back

[00:01:39] Drove by so slowly

[00:01:42] It felt like we're floating

[00:01:45] An inflatable raft

[00:01:52] Our bodies are stoplights

[00:01:54] Our minds are the streets

[00:01:58] We scratch and we scrape

[00:02:01] We're scared then we're brave

[00:02:04] The kids on the corner making eyes at the cars

[00:02:10] If you want to saved all it takes is a wave

[00:02:43] Sarah I still think that you are so beautiful

[00:02:49] I'm sorry that you don't feel the same way as me

[00:02:55] We spent so much time in this town driving slowly

[00:03:01] We spent so much money on things that didn't stay

[00:03:08] So call for a taxi. Slide into the backseat

[00:03:14] It rolls like a glass bottomed boat

[00:03:21] The kids on the corner when they reach in the window

[00:03:27] Their arms look like limbs from an oak

[00:03:34] Keep the speed steady. Hold the wheel straight

[00:03:40] I swear I feel each little sway

[00:03:46] Our minds are the windows

[00:03:49] Our bodies are screens

[00:03:52] We scratch

[00:03:55] We scrape

[00:03:57] And we dream

[00:04:04] We dream of the limbs of the trees

[00:04:11] We dream of the views from the boats

[00:04:18] Of mountains all covered in oaks

[00:04:26] And we hope

[00:04:31] As we hang from the limbs of the trees

[00:04:38] We cling to the rails of the boats

[00:04:44] The mountains all covered in oaks

[00:04:53] And we dream

[00:04:57] We dream of the limbs of the trees

[00:05:04] We dream of the views from the boats

[00:05:11] Of mountains all covered in oaks

[00:05:20] And we hope

[00:05:24] As we hang from the limbs of the trees

[00:05:31] We cling to the rails on the boats

[00:05:37] The trees as they turn into smoke

[00:05:44] The trees they turn slowly to smoke
