Emily Hearn The Oak Tree
[Verse 1]
Kickin' the dust up
I'm wearin' out my shoes
I can't make my mind up
I've got too much to lose
I'm old enough to leave home
But way too young to know what I should do
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm treadin' water
I'm tryin' to keep my head above the ground
[Chorus]
So would you come with me up to the oak tree?
Time will stop for us again
Look back, remember when
Yeah we were just eighteen under the oak tree
Safer than we'd ever been
Hold on to innocence
[Verse 2]
Where has the time gone
I'm feelin' old and gray
Tryin' to breath revival
Into my broken ways
I'm old enough to leave home
But way too young to carry all the blame
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm treadin' water
I'm tryin' to keep my head above the ground
[Chorus]
So would you come with me up to the oak tree?
Time will stop for us again
Look back, remember when
Yeah we were just eighteen under the oak tree
Safer than we'd ever been
Hold on to innocence
[Post-Chorus]
We were young
Oh we were young
And we had time
[Bridge]
How I hate the feelin' that time
It keeps slipping away
[Verse 3]
The child in me is kickin'
Don't let a moment pass
'Cause I can't bear to witness
My parents age so fast
They're way too young to fly home
And I can't stand to watch the hourglass
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I'm treadin' water
I'm tryin' to keep my head above the ground
I'm treadin' water
I'm tryin' to keep time from running out
[Chorus]
So would you come with me up to the oak tree?
Time will stop for us again
Look back, remember when
Yeah we were just eighteen under the oak tree
Safer than we'd ever been
Hold on to innocence
[Post-Chorus]
We were young
Oh we were young
And we had time
[Outro]
Oh to be young
Oh to be young
And to have time
