Everything Must Rest

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wrap me up in roots on a summer day Kick off your boots, come out and play Come outside into the daylight Traipse across the yard, throw stones at my window in the dead of night [Bridge] Oh oh oh Oh oh oh [Chorus] When the dust settles, when the kettle's dry I realize you have always been the favorite in my eyes I loved you best, still, everything must rest When you left, I was like a hive without a bee Carved up, withered, twisted like some old dead tree I layеd about in the tall grass hiding out 'Til they hit me with sticks and plungеd me deep into the sound [Bridge] Oh oh don't Oh oh oh [Chorus] When the dust settles, when the kettle's dry I realize you have always been the favorite in my eyes I was a mess when you left, one foot in front of the other I was a mess, it's a bitter pill, everything must rest [Verse 3] I felt no freedom being free My time was just another chore for me [Chorus] When the dust settles, when the kettle's dry I realize you have always been the favorite in my eyes I was a mess when you left, one foot in front of the other I was a mess when you left, there was no place to hide I was a mess when you left, I had to put the coins over your eyes I was a mess, I was bereft, still, everything must rest
