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. 
Hmm. Eh hey.
