​sudbury (the pasture song)

[Verse 1]
The pasture's only down the block
It was so many miles away
Used to be stuck at the fencepost
We couldn't get our hands away
I think that I saw something else
I couldn't get my eyes off it
But I think it's over for us now
'Cause soon I will be nothing more

[Chorus]
It's only a walk from sudbury
As long as I can stay under the trees
As soon as you ran from somebody
You stopped running away from me
It's only a walk from sudbury
As long as I can stay under the trees
As soon as you ran from somebody
You stopped running away from me

[Verse 2]
I lost something
And I'm never finding it
Am I supposed to move on?
Out of the woods that were beside me
And I don't think I could see you
Through the clouds that started moving
And the grass got all brown
I know that you'd just think it's stupid
And I don't think I could feel you
Watching snow turn into water
All that I could do was watch
Or maybe look for what I lost
But I know that was always useless
Or maybe it was punishment
'Cause I never even heard you
Until I fell into the lawn

[Bridge]
I thought you were real for my entire life
But the things that I love are the ones I can't spite
'Cause they're gone before I know that I just can't live without them
Is it too late to ask if I loved you at all?
Ever since I was there I can't see anything
And you ask where I am, but all I hear is the scream
Or the piece of my life that's stuck between my teeth
After sixteen whole years, I finally can't breathe
