(I was born a tree
Gnarled and leaning strange
I tore out my roots
And fled for someplace warm
I rode the waves
Across the wandering sea
My gold leaves
Are slowly turning red
I still remember
How we spent those long long days
Getting lost behind swingsets
Before I ran away)
I can never seem to move
But I alway have to leave
When I meet you in the park
We go down the longest trail
But it's never quite enough
So I tear myself away
Ripping stitches out my side
I slowly walk back to the car
In the woods, or on the phone
Real life always drags me back
When I live so far away
Real life always drags me back
