lyrics

If I were a tree
then you are a seed
caught in my leaves
The wind took you in
I called you my friend
You became family

You said I was wise
with roots that spread wide
deep with stability
I thought that you’d share my soil
that our roots they would coil
and they’d be company

But you
kept saying let me go
but you were too scared to leave
and so, God
came and shook up my branches
‘till it set you free

I guess I misunderstood
what you said felt too good
meant I was smothering
You just wanted to breathe
you weren’t meant to be
clinging to me

But you
kept saying let me go
but you were too scared to leave
and so, God
came and shook up my branches
‘till it set you free

No you wouldn’t be found
growing roots in the ground
‘cause there was too much to see
just floating

Now that winter was done
all you wanted was fun
to catch the first breeze
but you were stuck in my bark
it almost tore you apart
trying to let go of me

But you
kept saying let me go
but you were too scared to leave
and so, God
came and shook up my branches
‘till it set you free

But you
kept saying let me go
but you were too scared to leave
and so, God
came and shook up my branches
‘till it set you free
