[Verse 1] You stand in the hush of pines Auburn fire in the dawn Freckles lit by borrowed gold Like the forest made you born Linen moving in the wind Cream and oat against the green Your eyes drift just past my own Like a thought I’ve never seen [Pre-Chorus] Mist is sliding through the trunks Soft as prayers across the moss And the morning finds your hands Like a secret it can cross [Chorus] You belong to the trees You belong to the light Copper in the pines Burning soft and bright You belong to the trees You belong to me Copper in the pines Where the wild things breathe [Verse 2] Loose gold ring against your skin Catching bits of heaven through Every strand that frames your face Feels like sunlight learned you too Ancient bark and fern and stone Hold you like they know your name You don’t stand inside this world You and it are just the same [Pre-Chorus] Mist is sliding through the trunks Soft as prayers across the moss And the morning finds your hands Like a secret it can cross [Chorus] You belong to the trees You belong to the light Copper in the pines Burning soft and bright You belong to the trees You belong to me Copper in the pines Where the wild things breathe [Bridge] And if I looked too hard I’d break the spell in two So I let the branches keep The quiet part of you The ferns, the haze, the dawn The amber in your hair I swear the forest only shines Because you’re already there [Final Chorus] You belong to the trees You belong to the light Copper in the pines Burning soft and bright You belong to the trees You belong to me Copper in the pines Where the wild things breathe
