lyrics
Listen and hear each word
Stop or you’ll miss the birds
They sing in the top of the trees
Sometimes when you look you can’t see
But up there you will know that it’s round
You’re living too close to the ground
Come where the lights are grand
Leave now without a plan
You can get away if you choose
Confess it, you’ve nothing to lose
And I can show you where it’s found
You’re living too close to the ground
Rush so you’ll pass it by
Don’t let it catch your eye
Don’t stop, you might look a fool
Standing with love in your eyes
Trying hard to believe what you’ve found
You’re too close to the ground
I once held her close to me
Listened and heard her breathe
Just like I’ve done all my life
Her heart was the image of mine
But my wings just couldn’t be found I was living too close
Living too close to the
Living too close to the ground
Stop or you’ll miss the birds
They sing in the top of the trees
Sometimes when you look you can’t see
But up there you will know that it’s round
You’re living too close to the ground
Come where the lights are grand
Leave now without a plan
You can get away if you choose
Confess it, you’ve nothing to lose
And I can show you where it’s found
You’re living too close to the ground
Rush so you’ll pass it by
Don’t let it catch your eye
Don’t stop, you might look a fool
Standing with love in your eyes
Trying hard to believe what you’ve found
You’re too close to the ground
I once held her close to me
Listened and heard her breathe
Just like I’ve done all my life
Her heart was the image of mine
But my wings just couldn’t be found I was living too close
Living too close to the
Living too close to the ground

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
