about

Recorded outside Summit High School in the frigid cold, in Thompson Station Baptist Church, Cameron Arnold's basement, and Charley Plowman's grandma's bedroom.
Main riff created at Bekah Mezera's house.

lyrics

The lilacs grow for me
Love is abounding
We are just too weak
To see

The lilacs grow for me

And those church bells, on Sunday, sound more like sirens
And those sirens are coming after me

So we pack our things, and we're on our way
So we pack our things, and we're on our way

'Cause those church bells on sunday sound more like sirens
And those sirens, on Sunday, are coming after me
