Bears in Trees
Baggy Hoodies
[Verse 1]
You sit on the toilet seat
I sit in the bath
And you're crying quite sweetly
And I sing all the parts
To a folk song that I love
From my childhood
And when that is done
You say, "Just one more tune"
[Verse 2]
And we must've been in there
For at least two hours
Me clothed in the tub
Being dripped on by the shower
You're whispering stories
Pull strings from your mind to thread
While simultaneously asking me
To just sing instead
So I sung
[Chorus]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da
[Verse 3]
I know I can't convince you
Watching me through tears of tinsel
Shimmering ribbons down your cheek
You're happiest when you're asleep
Wеll, that's not quite true
But your joy always seems so fleeting
I know I can't convince you
I say wе love you, you won't believe me
[Pre-Chorus]
But instead you ask me to sing
Oh, just one more time
Couldn't think of any words
If I could they wouldn't rhyme
I just sung
[Chorus]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da
(And you left)
[Bridge]
So I lay there in silence
For hours on end
My walls became giants
And they were not my friends
I tried to leave the island
My queen-sized bed
But every time I tried it
The walls just laughed at my attempt
I just sung
[Chorus]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da (We were feeling unleashed)
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da (But we were feeding the beast)
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da (That was breathing underneath)
Da-da, da-da, da (Our baggy hoodies)
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da (Always falling off our feet)
Da-da, da-da, da (Feeling low and incomplete)
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da (But we never saw defeat)
Da-da, da-da, da (Rolled till sunrise hit the streets)
[Outro]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da
