family tree

Singer: oh land

i used to love you

now i doubt it all

that's what you said

sometimes i hurt others

sometimes myself

along the way

i should've known better than to fall again

heart ran astray

sometimes i love others

sometimes myself

along the way

i'm too young to stop taking risks

and too late to start

sometimes i risk others

sometimes i risk my trembling heart

pain free

hope is dancing so desperately

i did expect you to shake me

falling leaves on my family tree

pain free

hope is dancing so desperately

i did expect you to change me

falling leaves on my family tree

falling leaves on my family tree

i'll write a million songs to feel better

to understand

sometimes i feel nothing

sometimes it all comes washing in

and the little yellow sandals in the hallway

split them in two

sometimes i hurt others

sometimes myself and sometimes you

hurt me

tried to guard myself properly

but you're soaking in deeply

from the roots of my family tree

sorry

i did expect you to hate me

spring is coming to save me

rain on me and my family tree

rain on me and my family tree

falling leaves

i throw myself like sticks in the water

making a wave

sometimes you swim with me

sometimes we sink into the lake
