Lyrics
It seems like yesterday these leaves came out and you made them your home
You brought me melody and I gave you some shelter from the storm
You told me stories about places that I've never been before
So scared to think about the day that I can't hear you anymore
CHORUS
You are a bird
I can't follow you where you lead
I'm a great white oak and my roots go down deep
VERSE 2
You told me about the place you found
when you spent time out on your own
You pictured life with me where
we would never have to be alone
It sounds so sweet
But I can't grow wings
CHORUS
Instrumental
BRIIDGE
Somehow I still believe that you'll find your way back to me if that's the way it's supposed to be, if that's the way it's supposed to be (4x)
Here with me
CHORUS
