[Verse 1] Mud on my shoes Pine in my sleeves Breathing in sap Like it’s saving me Sun caught in cobwebs High in the leaves Heart beating slower With every green [Chorus] I’ve got trees Growing under my skin Little rings Marking everywhere I’ve been When the world cuts deep And I can’t quite speak I go stand between the trees Till they talk for me [Verse 2] Names carved crooked Low on the bark Two kids laughing Staying till dark I still trace letters When I walk past Wonder who left Wonder who lasts [Chorus] I’ve got trees Growing under my skin Little rings Marking everywhere I’ve been When the world cuts deep And I can’t quite speak I go stand between the trees Till they talk for me
