Away
This Is Deer Country Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a way
You move when it's summer
And you're going
You're going home
And there's a look
There's a look
And you won't give it up
For anything in mine
And there's a way that you breathe
When you're next to me
There's a way that you breathe
When you're next to me
There's a girl
There's a girl
Who knows you better
Thinks I'll never
Understand
And there's a moon
There's a moon
Hanging over your house
Hope it scares you out
Back here with me
And there's a way that you breathe
When you're next to me
There's a way that you breathe
When you're next to me
There's a song
That brings
In your ear
The open empty fear
That you'll leave
When
You leave
There's a wind
There's a wind
That fights my door
Hope it brings you more
Cold this year
There's a love
There's a love
That's waiting here
Hope you'll steer clear
Of where this wreck is bound
And there's a way that you breathe
When you're next to me
There's a way that you breathe
When you're next to me
There's a way that you breathe
When you're next to me

I love these guys! I caught their show in Rogers Park a few years back and they were a breath of fresh air. We will see great things from them.
