No One Knows Us

Hey, can you get out of bed today?
Do you need anything from me?
I’m anywhere, anywhere I need to be
Even I had the dream last night
We were squatters in fight or flight
Bonfires and Christmas lights
I miss those nights too

Don’t be a stranger now
You never really know when the floor drops out
The day they drop the bomb, you won’t hear a sound
Stay in touch
No one knows us

By the way, right across the street from the miner’s grave
They built another field for the kids to play
I’ll bring an extra blanket for you just in case
I didn’t wanna bother you anyway
But can you still see your heart racing in the mirror?
Isn’t it hilarious to live in fear?
’80s movies and Everclear
What if we’re gay?

Don’t be a stranger now
We never really know when the plane goes down
The day they drop the bomb, you won’t hear a sound
No one knows us
Don’t turn your back on me
What about the secrets you’ve got to keep?
We’re never really sure where the river’s deep
We’ve seen too much
No one knows us

We’ve still got time, can we move to the city?
Can we sleep in light? Can we just forget it?
While they’re still alive, can we drive to the city?
Can we dream in light? Dream in light
While the sun sets down in the glass in the city
We can lay our heads in the grass in the city
Making snow angels in the park like kids
Can we kiss the dark? Kiss the dark, kiss the dark

Oh, there won’t be a stranger now
You never really know when the floor drops out
The day they drop the bomb, you won’t hear a sound
No one knows us
Don’t turn your back on me
What about the secrets you’ve got to keep?
We’re never really sure where the river’s deep
No one knows us

Don’t be a stranger now
No one really knows when the plane goes down
The day they drop the bomb, you won’t hear a sound
Stay in touch, we’ve seen too much
No one knows us

Another great song from Brandi Carlile’s latest album. But Thursdays are for flowers! This flowertography session took place at the State Center Rose Garden.

There are still plenty more pictures left to share from the State Center Rose Garden!
