Quit in the dark

가사

[Verse 1] I learned to laugh at the right time Pick up the accent of the room Order the drink that they're drinking Agree with whatever they assume I keep a shelf full of faces And I put one on before I leave But I drove out past the county line Just to see which one is me [Chorus] Out where the pine trees don't need pleasing And the creek don't care what I say I'm better at being whoever's around me Than I've ever been at being me But the wild takes me back the other way Yeah, the wild takes me back the other way [Verse 2] I sat down on a fallen oak Didn't check my phone for an hour A red-tailed hawk cut across the field And I didn't have to make him prouder I said my name out loud to nobody Just to hear how it sounded alone It didn't echo back a stranger It didn't ask me to be someone [Chorus] Out where the pine trees don't need pleasing And the creek don't care what I say I'm better at being whoever's around me Than I've ever been at being me But the wild takes me back the other way Yeah, the wild takes me back the other way [Bridge] Maybe I'm not lost, just layered Maybe the real one's underneath He don't talk much, but he's honest And he only breathes when I'm relieved [Verse 3] So I'm gonna come out here on Sundays Leave my good boots in the truck Let the dirt get on my knuckles Let the quiet do the rest of the work And if I still mirror the kitchen table If I still fold to fit the frame At least I know a ridge in August Where nobody needs a name [Chorus] Out where the pine trees don't need pleasing And the creek don't care what I say I'm better at being whoever's around me Than I've ever been at being me But the wild takes me back the other way Yeah, the wild takes me back the other way [Outro] The wild takes me back the other way
