“UNDER THE TREE”

Under the tree, where it’s quiet and safe
I dream of the sun and I cling to my place
I wish the tree would just leave
Uproot itself and chase the breeze

To chase something that’s not lost
To forget the forget-me-nots
My comfort zone is overgrown
But where I’ll replant myself, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know

Under the tree, where I’m running out of space
Webcaps and funnels seem to block my escape
I wish the tree would just leave
Uproot itself and chase the breeze

To chase something that’s not lost
To forget the forget-me-nots
My comfort zone is overgrown
But where I’ll replant myself, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know

People say I should soak up the sun
Not come undone
That my flower can flourish
But I’m too malnourished

To chase something that’s not lost
To forget the forget-me-nots
My comfort zone is overgrown
But where I’ll replant myself, I don’t know
I don’t know, I don’t know
