Description
Paper Thick Walls is "a sweet miss-mash of influences from Wilco to Sufjan Stevens," with "a bit of Cursive's dramatics and a dash of the boldness found in bands such as Broken Social Scene and Arcade Fire." (Loud Loop Press).
Lyrics
Orange Tree Written by: Paper Thick Walls Follow me down to the bridge by the lake We'll jump off before the cops come and get us Watch your knees as you float upstream The rocks at the bottom would love to cut us I heard the sirens from my place down the street I burned all my records and I ran to find you Brought a bottle water and a small orange tree We can never hide on an empty stomach I believe that you and me are gonna make it. I believe that you and me are gonna make it out alive. Hang my pants on a branch by your head Sit there naked while the sun comes and heals us I don't know why you chose to run with me I'm found guilty and without a plea Don't worry baby don't explain it to me Your hands are always clean as far as I can see And if that man should put a gun to your head I'll wrap my mouth around the barrel and squeeze it I believe that you and me are gonna make it. I believe that you and me are gonna make it out alive. We shave our heads to avoid the cops Wear disguises and we sleep in parking lots Wake up early turn the radio on Hold my hand as we cry to this song Hold my hand as we cry to this song I believe that you and me are gonna make it. I believe that you and me are gonna make it out alive. I love the way that you can laugh with me Turn your shoulder and always reflect me And if that man should put the cuffs on my wrist I like the way that you would jump with me I like the way that you would jump with me.
