lyrics

There is a tree outside my house
It stains it's roots into the ground
It took a hundred years to grow
It took five minutes to cut down

There is a joke that I've been told
About how we all die alone
I did not think that it was funny
Maybe I'll get it the second go

And I will wait for my own life to unfold
And I will dream every night that I am told

Don't tell me what you think is real
I don't wanna feel the things you feel
And if I lived a thousand years
I'd still want my one last meal

There is a person who looks like you
Makes me think of things I used to do
And maybe there is love at first sight
But we're already three tries through

There is a day that's drawing near
It comes maybe once a year
Where all the questions are a little bit shorter
And all the answers a little more clear

And I will wait for my own life to unfold
And I will dream every night that I am told
You cannot be a good man and a good soul

Don't tell me what you think is real
I don't wanna feel the things you feel
And if I lived a thousand years
I'd still need some time to heal

You taught me how to let go
In the back of my pickup truck on our way to the Poconos
I looked you in the eye
And said "you're the only friend that I know"
When I look at you
It's like I lose all of my fears
Our letters make words and our words make letters
And I haven't gotten one in 14 years
