The Alps & Their Orange Evergreen Lyrics
Just when you’ve finally forgotten you’re alive / your light (?)
That’s exactly when they send you back
It comes together only to fall apart
You’ll start again
You’ll start over
For the others always only on the other side
What makes a side?
What makes another?
And in Switzerland the orange trees
Go by the sea
Or are they lakes?
But for the sake of the sunny mountainside that sits
Across the water body
From the mountain in the shade
And the baby bathers push me mountains (?)
For the valley it sends all swimming
We’re reeling yes we’re spinning
But importantly, together together together oh
But importantly, together together together oh
Things that are still
Sometimes appear to move
Things that are still
Sometimes they appear to move
That’s exactly when they send you back
It comes together only to fall apart
You’ll start again
You’ll start over
For the others always only on the other side
What makes a side?
What makes another?
And in Switzerland the orange trees
Go by the sea
Or are they lakes?
But for the sake of the sunny mountainside that sits
Across the water body
From the mountain in the shade
And the baby bathers push me mountains (?)
For the valley it sends all swimming
We’re reeling yes we’re spinning
But importantly, together together together oh
But importantly, together together together oh
Things that are still
Sometimes appear to move
Things that are still
Sometimes they appear to move
