Lyrics
Roots
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Light don't stick to you
Like it used to do
Think you've lost your shine
Wishing days away
Busy chasing trains
Leaving us behind
Let's get a ticket for those tracks
Don't say a word and don't look back
Let's get out of here
Let's get out of here
We can get lost between the rails
We've never been afraid to fail
If you dig up your roots
Then I'll dig up my roots
And we can take them with us
Wherever we go
And all that we are
Is in the beat of our hearts
And I know we're ready
To dive into the unknown,
'Cause I'm caught in the middle
I'd rather break out on my own,
Than be caught in the middle
Sights set to the sky
Sick of standing by
Getting itchy feet
Need some new places
Meet some new faces
No one left to please
Let's get a ticket for those tracks
Don't say a word and don't look back
Let's get out of here
Let's get out of here
We can get lost between the rails
We've never been afraid to fail
If you dig up your roots
Then I'll dig up my roots
And we can take them with us
Wherever we go
And all that we are
Is in the beat of our hearts
And I know we're ready
To dive into the unknown,
'Cause I'm caught in the middle
I'd rather break out on my own,
Than be caught in the middle
We're carrying our roots
In everything we do
You know there's nothing left here for us
We've got everything we need
It takes a leap to plant the seed
You know there's nothing left here for us
If you dig up your roots
Then I'll dig up my roots
And we can take them with us
Wherever we go
And all that we are
Is in the beat of our hearts
And I know we're ready
Yes, I know we're ready
If you dig up your roots
Then I'll dig up my roots
And we can take them with us
Wherever we go
And all that we are
Is in the beat of our hearts
And I know we're ready
To dive into the unknown,
'Cause I'm caught in the middle
I'd rather break out on my own,
Than be caught in the middle
