lyrics

I’ve been hanging out in old trees, touching roots deep underground
Time passes with these dead leaves, that river’s just a puddle now
And I can feel a slight breeze, washing ‘round me with that old sound
Left my heart down by the river, now it's nowhere to be found

I can feel the sunrise, through the bottom of my soul
And looking up there are clear skies, but they say I’m getting old
I remember walking, through the shadows with my friend
Then like the leaves compacted, turned to dirt and soil again

Think it's a thing we gotta go through, this trodden path of love to know you
I must admit I’ve been selfish but I’m trying to find a balance and my checkbook just bounced
But I’m trying to have a future, oh I’m trying to have a future

That bark it likes to shimmer, when the sun peeks through the clouds
But if I look too long it burns me, eats me from the inside out
I came here from the wastelands, gonna build a home somehow
Cause if this life it kills me, then I got nothing to fear now

Think it's a thing we gotta go through, this trodden path of love to know you
I must admit I’ve been selfish but I’m trying to find a balance and my checkbook just bounced
But I’m trying to have a future, oh I’m trying to have a future
