Lyrics:

Little three acre wood
My entire neighborhood
Looked around but never could
Be part of you

All those broken shadows fell
With every little song I yelled
And somehow I could never tell
What's wrong with you

Now it's quiet
Even then
Now it's 6 pm
And the locks have forgotten

And even though you're heart is vacant
I hope that you somehow make it
It's your life I hope you take it
Along with you

Someday this forest will seem friendlier
Right now it's looming awfully dark
It's built on summer days and hands in dirt
But it seems you've taken it apart

Now it's quiet
Even then
Now it's 6 pm
And the locks have forgotten

Ooh

Little three acre wood
My entire neighborhood
We did everything we could
Sometimes things aren't good
Sometimes
You can't undo it
