Root - Charlotte Martin

Bring me back to the time again when the fire is wild and the summer’s red

And you walk through weeds just to make a garden

We loved too much and we loved too hard

And it went too fast and I went too far

Nothing could have stopped me back then

And I’m back to my childhood I can’t believe

I was running

But wasn’t running from anything, anything yet

Well, the root still grows in the concrete fine

And you never think you’ll run out of time

The root still grows least that’s what I’m told

Though the tree is scared of heights

Don’t look down it’s been 15 years

How did I get so far from what I hold dear

But I didn’t think I would need to think much

The air this high makes it hard to breathe

And all I wanted was something I could believe in

Now I believe that when you’re leavin me you’re still here

And the grass will be scorched in the summer’s sting

And we’ll dance there, like it’s not seeing anything, anything yet.

And the root still grows in the concrete fine

And you never think you’ll run out of time

The root still grows further than I know

Though the tree is scared of heights

Well I still wait for anyone to keep their words

It’s like trying to start a fire that could not be burned

So if you wanna cut me down you better aim low

And you look at me like I should’ve pleased ya

And you look at me like I still should need ya

And I need too much, you need to much to need this

To need this

To need this

To need this wooa woooooa

To need this

To need this

To need this wooa wooooa

To need this

To need this to need this?

And the root still grows in the concrete fine

And we never think we’ll run out of time

And the root still goes further than you know

The root still goes further than you know

The root still grows least that’s what I’m told

Though the tree is scared of heights

Hmm.

Eh hey

Hmm.

Eh hey
