roots

(album: i wonder if you wonder - 2021)

I don't wanna be found out
I don't wanna leave this town tonight
And I don't wanna be back where I started from
'Cause my roots won't keep me warm
They won't keep me warm

I only just realised now
It only just dawned on me
That I have always been lonely
And I needed this, to feel comfort and complete
I never thought we'd meet

But they said I was always gonna be that way
Until I saw you, I believed them everyday
And then you came my way

Oh, let me love, oh, let me love you, until we're old
Oh, let me love, oh, let me love you, until we're grown
'Cause my roots won't keep me warm

I guess I made it here somehow
I made it this far and I am proud
I've seen my whole world just change
Nothing stays the same
And I for one am glad
I never knew I wanted you so bad

But they said I was always gonna be that way
Until I saw you, I believed them everyday
Then you came my way

Oh, let me love, oh, let me love you, until we're old
Oh, let me love, oh, let me love you, until we're grown
'Cause my roots won't keep me warm

And they said I was always gonna be that way
Until I saw you, I believed them everyday
And then you came my way

Oh, let me love, oh, let me love you, until we're old
Oh, let me love, oh, let me love you
'Cause my roots won't keep me warm
My roots won't keep me warm
Oh, my roots won't keep me warm
My roots won't keep me warm
