Matthew Sweet - In My Tree Lyrics

I still hide behind my fears
Show my years
I'm so tired
But it only takes a little bit
'Til you feel wild
So you need to run away and then you'll begin again
Like I will
You will too

You are high above the canopy
Living free bird
When I see you makes me want to say
There is no word
'Cause I can't find one as meaningful
As your ghostly touch
I will
You will too

'Cause there's nothing I can do
To bring you down in my tree
Who can tell you
When you want to break free
Nobody else is living you see
And you are only here for now and not for long

You should know
What you're expecting is not what you'll find
'Cause you know you do confuse
The two things in your mind
And it won't stay in your heart for long
And I know I've been so wrong
You have too

And there's nothing I can do
To bring you down in my tree
Who can tell you
When you want to break free
Nobody else is living you see
And you are only here for now and not for long

I will
You will too
And there's nothing I can do
To bring you down in my tree
Who can tell you
When you want to break free
Nobody else is living you see
And you are only here for now and not for long
