Songtext zu 'Pinstripe' von Something For Kate

There is no need to throw your arms around
And there is no need to ask unless there is some doubt
If you are comfortable with two feet on the ground
Then you don't need wings now…you don't need wings now.

Have you set down your course or are you out of control, my dear?
Or are you accidentally part of some involuntary movement here?

We thought we knew it so well we could do it with arms
tied behind our backs, and our eyes shut tight.
I thought I knew it so well I could stop so I stopped
and I can't, can't start again.

Stand under the hole in your roof
let the rain come in and fall down on your head
'Cause it's a simple joy you can bring upon yourself
it's a simple something new, something else.

Trees stand in a perfect line
Trees stand at attention

Not much time has passed, but already she likes concrete better than grass
And I don't think we'll last
So I stare up at the sky and it hurts my eyes
Maybe I'll go blind, maybe all I'll see is all I'll see is sunshine…
Sunshine, sunshine.

I'm trying not to sound, I'm just trying to sound.
I don't want to sound like this… sound like this, sound like this.

You're last day of April every year
you're grey, feeling for something, anything you can't have.
Oversize, owning the road
pulled by a current, tossed over in the wind

You focus your sights and try, try to stare up at the sky.
Does it hurt your eyes?
Maybe you'll go blind, or maybe all you'll see is all you'll see is sunshine…
Sunshine.

Walk in a straight line, you waste energy in the daytime.
And I know exactly what I'm doing…
Doing sometimes… sometimes.
