The Woods

Waking up in the middle of the woods

Naked in the middle of the woods

I’ve seen all the wolves in this place

I’ve been a wolf in this place

I’ve been watching the rats in the race

I was a rat in the race

I’ve seen the love in me fade

I am no longer here: the place I fear, the place that fills me

You are: the words I feel, the knot that heals, the place I kneel to

Tell me that you want to leave with me

Tell me that you want to go with me

Don’t you want to get out of here?

Out of the woods?

Tell me that you want to leave with me

Tell me that you want to go with me

Don’t you want to get out of here?

Out of the woods?

We walk down to the ocean

Your sarcasm heavy laden on me

Your eye contact leaves a message

My love stacked on top of the trees

You brought me down to the river

And you pushed me in

Hoping that the white rapids

Would challenge my ability to swim

You are the words I feel

You’re how I deal

You’re who I run to

Tell me that you want to leave with me

Tell me that you want to go with me

Don’t you want to get out of here?

Out of the woods?

Tell me that you want to leave with me

Tell me that you want to go with me

Don’t you want to get out of here?

Out of the woods?

I walk you down to the willow to show you the leaves

I say ‘they are just like us

Ever changing into the breeze’

You pick up two handfuls

You tell me ‘they’re all dried up and dead’

You know that’s nothing like us

We’ll live forever instead

Tell me that you want to leave with me

Tell me that you want to go with me

Don’t you want to get out of here?

Out of the woods? Out of the woods?

Out of the woods? Out of the woods?

Tell me that you want to leave with me

Tell me that you want to go with me

Don’t you want to get out of here?

Out of the woods? Out of the woods?
