That Forest One

+ Show full styles

[Verse 1]
Inside my head there’s a wall full of moments,
not in a frame, just a camera roll.
Little half-lit clips of us in summer,
things I never meant to hold.
You in grass-stained shoes and a borrowed t-shirt,
me pretending I was someone grown.
That tired old forest in the background, waiting,
like it knew we’d call it home.

[Pre-Chorus]
Out of everything I ever get to keep,
it’s that tired old forest that stays.
I blink and the room goes quiet,
and I’m back there anyway.

[Chorus]
There’s a picture that keeps opening by itself,
that tired old forest inside my head.
Every time I try to turn away,
you’re still one step ahead.
In that faded green between the trees,
where I lost you and no one sees,
that forest one, that forest one,
that forest one.

[Verse 2]
We ran those paths till our legs gave out,
breathless kings in paper crowns.
You were shining like you knew a secret,
I was just trying not to fuck it up.
Then one slow evening the air got heavy,
your little jokes all fell through.
Your feet on the hill started dragging,
like the earth was holding you.
I scraped a bed out of dying leaves,
orange, gold, almost gone.
Said, "Just lay down here a minute,
just rest, then we’ll go on."

[Pre-Chorus]
Your arms went round my neck like always,
your face just… stopped.
Like somebody turned the volume down
on the whole world, and left mine.

[Bridge]
You were just a little kid in that forest,
small hand on my sleeve.
Now you only visit in that corner of my mind
with everyone I couldn’t keep.

I can move apartments, change my hair,
let the years keep changing the scene,
but the minute I get too tired to fight it,
that same old frame pulls me in.

[Chorus / Outro]
There’s a picture that keeps opening by itself,
that tired old forest inside my head.
Every time I try to look away,
you’re still one step ahead.

In that faded green between the trees,
where I lost you and no one sees,
that forest one, that forest one,
 that forest one.

still that little kid in the dying light,
that forest one.

and I still can’t look away,
no, I still can’t look away...
...that forest one.
