lyrics

YOU GREW UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
DESPITE ALL YOUR FEARS YOU NEVER GOT OLD
BUT AS YOUR BONES STARTED TO SHOW
A WIND CAME BY AND CRUSHED YOUR HOME

THOUGHT YOU WOULD GIVE LIFE A SECOND TRY
MOVED SO FAR WITHOUT KNOWING WHY
INTO THE GROUND YOUR TEARS SOAKED DEEP
WHEN YOU TRIED TO MOVE ROOTS HELD YOUR FEET

AS THE SUN CAME BY IT'S LIGHT TURNED RED
BLISTERED YOUR SKIN UNTIL IT BLED
AS THE NIGHT CAME AROUND YOU WERE FREEZING COLD
SAW A FIRE AND HOPED IT WOULD GROW

JUST AS YOU WISHED THE FLAMES CAME NEAR
BURNED DOWN YOUR ROOTS AND DEAFENED YOUR EARS
A PILE OF DUST SAT DOWN IN THE ROAD
BUT A BREEZE CAME BY AND LET IT GO
