WOULD YOU BE MY TREE

Tree

Would you be my tree

Shade me from the relentless sun

That keeps beating down on me

With your roots bound 

Deep in the ground

An anchor for a girl like me

Baby I plead…

Would you be my tree

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I need the steady, I beg for strong

Been doing this, on my own, too long

Help was offered, I said no

Thought alone was the way to go

I’m ready

I’m open

Please besiege...

Would you be my tree

~~*~~

Please

Please convince the grass

Soften my landing to the future

When I jump free of my past

To cover up 

The dirtiness

When the plunge finally busts the cast

Baby I ask

Please convince the grass

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I need the steady, I beg for strong

Been doing this, on my own, too long

Help was offered, I said no

Thought alone was the way to go

I’m ready

I’m open

Please besiege

Would you be my tree

~~*~~

Hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Tree…

You can hem me in

Weave the branches tight around me

Brush the leaves against my skin

With your roots bound 

Deep in the ground

An anchor for a girl like me

Baby I plead…

Would you be my tree

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I need the steady, I beg for strong

Been doing this, on my own, too long

Help was offered, I said no

Thought alone was the way to go

I’m ready

I’m open

Please besiege

Would you be my tree
