Pick It Up

Bare feet on the floorDust jumps when we landOne stepThen one moreClap falls in my hand

Backpack by the doorKey ring in your teethLaugh caught in the screen doorWind braids through the leaves

We've been sitting in the same blue chairsSame four wallsSame quiet airYou tilt your headSayWhy stay hereBeat starts in our chests

Pick it upPick it upPick it up now heyHeel to groundHeart to soundLet it run wildThrow your weight in the wave till it lifts usPick it upPick it upPick it up

Tires hum on the red claySun flicks through the treesYou drum on the windowI hum in the breeze

Every mile shakes the dust off fearsEvery sign pulls the sky more nearYou tap the dashSayRight back hereBeat jumps in our ribs

Pick it upPick it upPick it up now heyHeel to groundHeart to soundLet it run wildThrow your weight in the wave till it lifts usPick it upPick it upPick it up

Hands upLet it roll throughThroat raw from the woosWe're our own small choirStomps and fireStomps and fire

Pick it upPick it up

Pick it upPick it upPick it up now heyHeel to groundHeart to soundLet it run wildThrow your weight in the wave till it lifts usPick it upPick it upPick it up

Hand in hand on the shoulder of nightFootprints soft in the gravel lightClaps fade to our breathingStill feel the swing insidePick it up
