Let’s Not and Say We Did
Let's go hunting blackbirds
Let's throw snowballs from the bridge
Fireplace burns backwards
Let's not and say we did
There's a trapdoor in the country
Where we can disappear

These giant evergreens
Are promise revines
Let's walk down the glassy top of a frozen pasture dream
Our minds can dream like soda machines
And that's exactly what we did

Let's ride down the ridge
To the military bridge
You can't be against forever
Let's not and say we did
There's a party in the country
Where we can disappear

Dig if you will
A picture of you, girl
Finding the fiercest way to live
We could ride all day in a one horse open sleigh
And that's exactly what we did
And that's exactly what we did
