trees in the ocean
high as the sky
dreams in the leaves
deeper than night
and I dive higher
away from the roots
as they reach for me
into the blue
haven't they ever felt what I feel everyday?
or are they just like me but don't go they're own ways?
haven't they ever thought that life is really short
and you should do the things that you're dreaming of?
I'm on the other
side of the tide
I haven't seen it
but it is the bright side
I don't know how I know it
but I know it well
'cause I have never
felt this way
haven't they ever felt what I feel everyday?
or are they just like me but don't go they're own ways?
haven't they ever thought that life is really short
and you should do the things that you're dreaming of?
I look up and I look down
the sun above is burning soft
and below it's dark
below it's dark
