Land For You And Me

what would this country be
with no land for you and me?
nothing left to see
with no sequoia trees
and I'm who I am
because I can
see the coastal seas
and hear the bumble bees
what will our children see
when glaciers fill the sea?
and what we could have done
I guess we had our fun

she wears red laces in the fall
and walks about the leaves
he thinks she's pretty when she falls
and on her hands and jeans
and laughs so easily
she writes cute poems in her book
but nobody sees
he thinks she's shy but he don't care
as long as she's there
brushing her hair
Chorus:
red laces x 4
shes scared of being ugly when she's old
and living alone
he says he'll be there when she's grey
and never go away
but lives for today
she wears red laces in the fall
and walks about the leaves
he thinks she's pretty when she falls
and on her hands and jeans
and laughs so easily
Chorus

he's so independent
he acts like he couldn't care less for us all
he's someones descendant
their child but he'll never acknowledge their call
he's afraid to be loved and I know he's afraid not to be
and he'll laugh and he'll cry and someday he'll die
just like me
chorus:
just like me
settling a score with a world that wants a reason
every time you turn around
just like me
looking for a door standing open saying welcome
come and lay your troubles down
just like me
I've seen him look hungry
for someone to tell him you're doing just fine
and the songs that he's sung
they have loneliness woven between every line
with no strings to hold him I guess he could call himself free
yes he's free to lonely and empty and wrong
just like me
chorus:
just like me
settling a score with a world that wants a reason
every time you turn around
just like me
looking for a door standing open saying welcome
come and lay your troubles down
just like me
just like me
