My mom'd give me twenty and say stay out till dawn   When her boyfriend was over and they wanted me gone   I would walk through the woods to the old graveyard   And roll my own tops and think two kind of a thoughts      Are we high enough to clear these trees?   I don't know      That was the summer dave's girlfriend OD'ed   She died in the bathroom at a party down the street   I went to see him the next night, he had a new tattoo   He was watching home movies of her   His face was wet, he looked so confused      They had a funeral for her   The preacher said she was with the Lord   There were lots of pictures of her   Taped to a poster board      Are we high enough to clear these trees?   I don't know   Are we high enough to clear this place?   I don't know      Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light   High school halls and shopping malls never fit me right   But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand   When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down      I wound up that fall in a hospital   On the suicide wing with a lot of people thinkin' one thing   They had a sign on the wall that said no touching at all   There were screams in the dark, nurses running down the hall      On the night that I got there they showered me and searched me hard   Then they took me to my little room overlooking a graveyard   When I opened my eyes I was strapped to the bed   There was a needle in my arm, part of me was gone      Then they took us outside in our slippers and gowns   To play basketball on the blacktop, the ball just bounced till it stopped      Are we high enough to clear these trees?   I don't know   Are we high enough to clear this place?   I don't know      Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light   High school halls and shopping malls never did me right   But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand   When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down      When the leaves were wet behind the old duplex   We used to run at night naked through the trees   And you would lean back against me and I would try to stay soft   We'd listen to the engines as the planes took off
