In The Flowers

Met a dancer who was high in a field from her movement Caught my breath on my way home Couldn't stop that spinning force I felt envy Everything around seemed to giggle You are up with the flower and I cared Found a dancer who gets wild to the beats of record rhythm But I'm always away for weeks That pass slow my mind gets lost Feeling envy for the kid who'll dance despite anything I walked out in the flowers and feel better If I could just leave my body for the night Then we could be dancing No more missing you while I'm gone There we could be dancing And you'd smile and say, "I like this song" And when our eyes will meet there We will recognize nothing's wrong And I wouldn't feel so selfish I won't be this way very long To hold you in time To hold you in time To hold you in time To hold you in time While we were dancing Early hours drunken days finally ended And the streets turned for a pillowcase Then I fumbled our good lock Then the ecstasy turns to rising light Through our windowpane, now I'm gone I left flowers for you there --- In the Flowers - Animal Collective
