Roots Lyrics by Jay Das

2022

#INTRO
(Yeah)
(Oh)

#VERSE
Family trees, calling for me
But I’m a broken branch, a fallen leaf
Feel the breeze, follow me
Cause I'm wandering endlessly

#CHORUS
I’m feeling like I’m floating in the river now
Try your best to catch me as I drift away
I’m feeling like I’m floating in the river now
Try your best to catch me as I drift away

#VERSE
What's for me out there
In the deep end, unaware
How do I remind you all
The good old ways are dead and gone
But better days will come along
Just keep your head down in my arms
Pardon me if I break down
You carry me this far and I'm grateful
Even though I don't got much to offer
‘Cuz I don’t wanna be like you no
But I know the roots run deeper
I don’t wanna be like you no
But I know the roots run deeper

#HOOK
(I don’t wanna be like you no)
(But I know that the roots run deeper)
(I don’t wanna be like you no)
(But I know that the roots run deeper)
