Lyrics

You found an oak tree
Curled up against the trunk, patted your hand
On the grass where I should sit

The park was empty
Calm as a canvas waitin’ for a plan
Same way that we began

I guess we’re a thing now
Been hanging out for years
Seems like every branch we grow
flows back to here

I got one life to give to somebody like you
And growing old together is something you
Could talk me into
Forever sounds like lots of fun
And I’ll try anything once
I’ll try anything once

Thing about an oak tree
They get one chance to pick a place to stand
Before life comes rustling in

On the day you found me
I did not know it at the time but I took root
I’m so lucky so did you

[Repeat Chorus]

Leaves will grow and leaves will fall what can you do?
The sky will snow what the sun melts through
I got these rings of years inside me that I put there with you beside me

I guess it’s official
Tell our friends that we’re
Still sittin’ watchin’ every branch we grow
Flow back to here

I got one life to give to somebody like you
And growing old together is something you
Could talk me into
I’m yours until I turn to dust
Cuz I’ll try anything once
You make a lifetime such an easy thing to do
And I feel strong as a forest with who I’m planted next to
Forever sounds like lots of fun
And I’ll try anything once
