Forest and Sands Lyrics

Lyric discussion by BrentLong 

Cover art for Forest and Sands lyrics by Camera Obscura

Lyrics transcribed from the booklet included with the "My Maudlin Career" CD. Parts in brackets were erronesouly left out of the booklet lyrics despite obviously being a part of the song. Parts enclosed in parentheses are in the booklet lyrics despite not actually being in the recorded version. Sans the bracketed and parenthetical parts, everything else from the booklet checks out to my ears.

I'm in a van and you're holding my hand You are traveling with me through forests and sands I've been innocently learning your language [And] you've been taking full advantage haven't you? Don't say it's true

I lost a friend I'm the saddest again [And] we kissed once [hey] but that was in lust I know you need more than given moments [And] sentimental sorrys and words only spoken seem lame [And] I won't win (a) [your] heart that way

It feels like none of this is real I'll pretend that my heart and my head are well But if the blood Pumping through my veins could freeze Like the river in Toronto [then] I'd be pleased You said I made you feel warm (You) Said I made you feel warm inside

[It feels like none of this is real I'll pretend that my heart and my head are well But if the blood Pumping through my veins could freeze Like the river in Toronto then I'd be pleased You said I made you feel warm Said I made you feel warm inside

It feels like none of this is real I'll pretend that my heart and my head are well But if the blood Pumping through my veins could freeze Like the river in Toronto then I'd be pleased You said I made you feel warm Said I made you feel warm inside]

(If the blood could freeze I'd be pleased I'd be pleased)
