Forest for the Trees

Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh

If I tell you that I'm lost right now

Will you leave me where you found me

Try to sell me what you're hawking

Make a dollar off my pain

Only asking for directions

Or, for once, a clear reflection

Never shied away from working

Need to know what work to do

I just can't see

Forest for the trees

Looking up beneath

Gives me heavy feet

And all I want

Is bourbon on the ridgeline

And peace to watch the sun dive

Below through the pines

Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh

Forest for the trees

I've been looking for the dark in me

What you look for babe is all you'll see

Afraid to hurt somebody casually

So I'm overthinking every breath I breathe

And while I study every branch and leaf

I'm getting better at the in-betweens

The changing seasons surely changing me

But even growth it comes with grief

And all I want

Is coffee on the ridgeline

And peace to watch the sun rise

Above the pines

Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh

Forest for the trees

Then you wipe the dirt off

And told me to back up

"The well's deep, the stream runs,

Pour from a full cup."

All I want

Is you here on the ridgeline

Together watch the sun shine

Right through the pines

Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh

Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh

Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh

Forest for the trees
