lyrics

I tried to cut your forest down.
I wanted a field to run around.
They gave me the run around and I couldn’t - back down.
I wanted to cut your forest down.
And that sounds so crazy to say out loud.
I wanted a field, my own to plow, but I couldn’t.
I tried to cut this forest down.
And that sounds too crazy to say it now.
But I wanted a field. Let me run around. But I couldn’t.

You and me, now.
Don’t waste my time now.
I want to talk more less often now -
let this weight down.

I tried to cut your forest down.
I wanted a field, my own for now.
They gave me the run around and I couldn’t…
I tried to cut this forest down,
and that sounds so crazy to say out loud.
But I wanted a field; let me run around. I couldn’t.
You can have no remorse when you’re sitting up high
on your little horse.
For a little bit longer, then, I couldn’t wait,
I couldn’t stay…

You and me, now,
waste my time now.
I wished you’d talk less more often now -
Just bulldoze this down.

I tried to cut your forest down.
“Are you listening to me when I say it out loud?”
You say that it’s nothing, and we can just be,
“Why don’t you stay there?”
You say, “It’s not over. It’s all in your head.
What you want, you’ll regret it in the end.”
Knifed our names into the bark -
I couldn’t stop.

You and me, now,
Don’t waste this time now.
I want to talk more less often now -
Burn this thing down.

Take the pieces of my soul.
Burn them down in a muddy hole.
Sorrows of the past behind me.
Needles and a cap before ye…

I said I’d cut this forest down.
Place is so unrecognizable now.
Stuck my journal into the sap
so it could stay.
Painted the cabin, the woods in my mind,
Look at the rubble, the branches, intertwined.
How you are, for a little bit more, I couldn’t stay.

I tried to cut this forest down…
How you are, it’s how you wanted it now…
Wanted a place to call my own.
Wanted a place to be lost, not found.
What you said you don’t want now...
…I think I want this now.

Make the crown of wicker twig.
Summon children from the crib.
Wilted now from winter glory.
Sharpened axe and clear the forest down…
