Tall Trees
from Fledgling by Julia Henning
lyrics
Tall trees, the first day of school and I stood as tall as them.
All these years and I could barely touch their branches if I stretched.
Your voice as you carried me home from the car in a sleepy daze.
I'm sure you know but let me say, I couldn't be without you.
You're why I'm who I am today.
I could take notes, watch you all day and never be, never be, as amazing.
Grazed knees, tears spilling endlessly down into your lap.
Dark dreams, you kept them away with just a word and your hand.
Our house, filled with the warmth and the scents of the things you baked.
Our world was always whatever we made.
I'm sure you know but let me say, I couldn't be without you.
You're why I'm who I am today.
I could take notes, watch you all day and never be, never be, as amazing.
Through losses and heartbreak, changes and mistakes.
Roadtrips & birthdays. Sunburn & snowflakes.
I've been there with you.
We saw them all through.
I'm sure you know but let me say, I couldn't be without you.
You're why I'm who I am today.
I could take notes, watch you all day and never be, never be, as amazing.
Tall trees, the first day of school and I stood as tall as them.
All these years and I could barely touch their branches if I stretched.
Your voice as you carried me home from the car in a sleepy daze.
All these years and I could barely touch their branches if I stretched.
Your voice as you carried me home from the car in a sleepy daze.
I'm sure you know but let me say, I couldn't be without you.
You're why I'm who I am today.
I could take notes, watch you all day and never be, never be, as amazing.
Grazed knees, tears spilling endlessly down into your lap.
Dark dreams, you kept them away with just a word and your hand.
Our house, filled with the warmth and the scents of the things you baked.
Our world was always whatever we made.
I'm sure you know but let me say, I couldn't be without you.
You're why I'm who I am today.
I could take notes, watch you all day and never be, never be, as amazing.
Through losses and heartbreak, changes and mistakes.
Roadtrips & birthdays. Sunburn & snowflakes.
I've been there with you.
We saw them all through.
I'm sure you know but let me say, I couldn't be without you.
You're why I'm who I am today.
I could take notes, watch you all day and never be, never be, as amazing.
Tall trees, the first day of school and I stood as tall as them.
All these years and I could barely touch their branches if I stretched.
Your voice as you carried me home from the car in a sleepy daze.
