Roots Lyrics by Refs

Stories

2018

[Verse 1]
Alone with you
The first time since September
It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face

You talk right through
And you don’t stop to breathe but I don't care
I don’t want to remember

[Chorus]
We tried to plants roots
Finding it too fallow
Swim but we’re too shallow
To be decent
And oh
If you could just remind me
Go and back in time and find me
Just one evening to waste away with you

[Verse 2]
It’s nothing new
And it’s what all of our friends did
Young blood, trying to play house
But now it feels like
When you packed your bags
Why didn’t I stop you
What the hell was I thinking

[Chorus]
We tried to plants roots
Finding it too fallow
Swim but we’re too shallow
To be decent
And oh
If you could just remind me
Go and back in time and find me
Just one evening to waste away with you

[Break]
I’m on the interstate
And I’m calling
And I’m calling you

If you’re stlll awake
Do you wanna
Do you wanna go

Am I just too late
To be running
To be running
Back knocking at your door
