Lyrics

Intro

Yeah

Back to the start

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Dusty boxes sitting under the attic stairs

Empty house

Long shadows stretching toward the hall

Silent and still

Mama's old photos curling at the edges

Waiting on me

Pre-Chorus

Look at the dirt on your palms

Look at the scars on your knees

Feel the weight of the air

Breathe it in

Chorus

Walk back to the roots you buried

Go find the path that you lost

Walk back to the roots you buried

Go find the path that you lost

Under the red clay

Beneath the tall pine trees

Post-Chorus

Go find it

Go find it

Roots

Yeah

Verse 2

Stuttering heart keeps skipping the beat today

Old metal swing

Rusty chain screaming in the heavy wind

Wild grass growing tall

Washing the bitter salt away from my skin

Tasting the rain

Pre-Chorus

Look at the dirt on your palms

Look at the scars on your knees

Feel the weight of the air

Breathe it in

Chorus

Walk back to the roots you buried

Go find the path that you lost

Walk back to the roots you buried

Go find the path that you lost

Under the red clay

Beneath the tall pine trees

Bridge

Maybe it's hard to remember

Maybe it's harder to stay

Maybe it's time to begin

Clean water

Clear sight

Right now

Chorus

Walk back to the roots you buried

Go find the path that you lost

Walk back to the roots you buried

Go find the path that you lost

Under the red clay

Beneath the tall pine trees
