Under The Tree

Intro

Verse 1

The roots are digging deep into this cold, hard ground

And I’m just another shadow that doesn't want to be found

Watching the world spinning in colors I can’t touch

Maybe I’m just a fool for wanting way too much

The leaves are whispering secrets I already know

About the miles I’ve walked with nowhere left to go

Verse 2

I see you passing by like a ghost in the morning light

So close I could reach out, but I’m paralyzed by fright

The bark of this tree feels like the skin I used to wear

Tough on the outside, but dying for some air

I’m carving your name in the silence of my mind

Searching for a version of us that I’ll never find

Chorus

How do I make you mine?

Under this canopy where the stars refuse to shine

I’m screaming in my head, but I don't make a sound

Just a lonely king on a forgotten mound

Give me a sign, or just leave me to rot

In this beautiful nightmare, it’s all that I’ve got

How do I make you mine?

Bridge

The wind is mocking me, blowing through the empty space

Where I used to imagine the outline of your face

I’m tired of the 'maybe' and the 'what if' games

While the fire in my chest is running out of flames!

Guitar Solo

Chorus

How do I make you mine?

Under this canopy where the stars refuse to shine

I’m screaming in my head, but I don't make a sound

Just a lonely king on a forgotten mound

Give me a sign, or just leave me to rot

In this beautiful nightmare, it’s all that I’ve got

How do I make you mine?

Outro

Just a shadow...

Under the tree

How do I make you mine?
