Could we just lay here and breathe
Let the wave have its way with our bodies
On the way to the leaves while we pretend
It’s all a means to an end
That day I left you covered under this
Cause I had to know
The air was thin in the riverbed
I crept to the bottom of
And I saw you and me
Staring at the sunset on the water
You and me
Staring at the bottoms of our feet
Looking at you, looking at me
Two roots the same
Tree
I saw you and me
Making real what we believe in
You and me
In awe of our own being
And every thought of you a reason
And I could not pretend you and me
Two roots the same tree, the same
Tree
And the leaves fell
I had to catch every one
Every leaf fell
I had to catch every one before you’d see
That this is all ending
But you showed me rippling, sparkling waves
And I was helpless
There’s never a story so true than the one I always knew
So you pushed me in
And I tore through my reflection
But I knew
I’m not going in alone
