Elbows - The Forest
текст песни

Planting seeds to see the chance to stand amongst the trees
But oh so few ever grow in the shade
It’s hard to see the forest for the trees
When everybody’s reaching up for the very same thing

But if a tree falls in the woods and no one’s round
Then who is gonna help the tree up off the ground?
And if I grow into the light will I shine?
Or will I forever stay stuck down in the shade?
Never find the light?

Autumn calls and all the leaves reveal their age
Audiences applauding the way they decay

But if a tree falls in the woods and no one’s round
Then who is gonna help the tree up off the ground?
And if I grow into the light will I shine?
Or will I forever stay stuck down in the shade?
Never find the light?

Barking at the tree bark
Would you please turn a leaf
Leave me eternally
Ruthlessly uproot the roots until they chop me down
They chop me down

But if a tree falls in the woods and no one’s round
Then who is gonna help the tree up off the ground?
And if I grow into the light will I shine?
Go out on a limb will I find
To make it out the woods would place me in the pine?
Never find the light?
