Lyrics
The Canopy
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.
I was spinning through the air when I thought my life was ending
But I was really on the ground and you were lying right next to me
I looked right into your eyes, and I found myself pretending
That we were high above the canopy but tethered to the trunk of a tree
Slow down, take time, and see the forest for the leaves
I know that I should practice what I preach
I was falling to the ground when I felt my body breaking
But I had fallen in your lap, with my head tilted back
So I could see the sun eclipsed by your hair that left a halo hanging
Waiting above so when you go you don't have to wait to get your wings
Slow down, take time, and see the forest for the leaves
I know that I should practice what I preach
Slow down, take time, and see the forest for the leaves
I know that I should practice what I preach
