Willow Lyrics by Idlework.

Where the Pear Trees Grow

2023

[Verse 1]
Hold my thoughts for me
'Cause I just watched them put themselves to sleep
Fold that willow tree
That's growing old and catching colds and memories

[Chorus]
Gimme time, gimme space, gimme
Gimme something so cold that I stop breathing
I'm never alone 'cause you threw me a stone
And it's beating in time with the rest
Gimme pain, gimme rest, I won't heal
'Cause I'm feeling so real that I stopped fading
When I walk home, I forget where I'm going
But they said that it's all for the best

[Verse 2]
Grown from a broken seed
Why am I surprised that there is blood on every leaf?
Sewn by that willow tree
They took it away before it had a chance to speak (OH)
I told 'em all I'd watch them fall
And who's a doll and who's a ghoul
In the playground at school?
My little friends, I feel for them
In every room, 'round every bend
I'm shy again

[Bridge]
I feel sad when I lie in it
Have fun, but not enough to be fine with it
Six days, one minute, I'm driving it
I never wanna live if I'm hiding it

[Chorus]
Gimme time, gimme space, gimme
Gimme something so cold that I stop breathing
I'm never alone 'cause you threw me a stone
And it's beating in time with the rest
Gimme pain, gimme rest, I won't heal
'Cause I'm feeling so real that I stopped fading
When I walk home, I forget where I'm going
But they said that it's all for the best
