lyrics

I built my heart tall as trees
Hung my words on their leaves
Waved my branches – said, “Look at me!”
And when all the words turned brown
I just painted them green

(chorus)
Never really liked that things die
Before they grow

It took all my tape and some glue
To make my words hold up the way they’re supposed to
But, oh, those autumn winds
They blew right through
And left me nothing but my nakedness and empty truth

(chorus)
Never really wanted to die
To let myself grow

(chorus)
To grow, to grow
To grow, to grow…

And after autumn, comes cold
Before the bloom of spring must come the driving snow
And if I’m brave enough to just let go
Of all these seeds that I’ve been too afraid to finally sow

I’ll put ‘em in the ground, let ‘em die
Put ‘em in the ground, let ‘em die
Put ‘em in the ground, let ‘em die die die die die…
And let ‘em grow
