Sitting Still

Song available on Murmur.

This name I got we all were green
See could stop stop it will red
We could bind it in the cist
We could gather, throw a fit

Up to par, Katie bars the kitchen signs, but not me in
Sit and try for the big key, a waste o' time, sitting still

I'm the sun and you can read.
I'm the sign and you're not deaf.
We could bind it in the scythe.
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to par, Katie bars the kitchen signs, but not me in
Sit and try for the big key, a waste o' time, sitting still
I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear.

This name I got we all were green
See could stop stop it will red
We could bind it in the cist
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to par, Katie bars the kitchen signs, but not me in
Sit and try for the big key, a waste o' time, sitting still
I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear.

You can gather when I talk, talk until you're blue
You could get away from me. Get away from me.

I'm Up to par, Katie bars the kitchen signs, but not me in,
Sit and try for the big key, a waste o' time, sitting still
I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear.
I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear.
Can you hear me?
