A Thousand Oak Trees

Listen to the raindrops fall
Watch the morning dew
Listen to the crickets chirp
When there's nothing left to do

Feel the grass beneath my feet
Soil between my toes
The cloud of smoke it rises up
As the sky washes my face

Be in bed by 10 o'clock
Be asleep by 4
Dream about the taken from me
To hold them just once more

I want my friend
I want to see colors again
Taste food again
I want this to end
I want to get out of bed
Smile again

So I'll pack up my happiness and peace
I'll take what'll fit in my suitcase
I don't care if I'll be out of place
Saving face is not what I'm worried about

Wander on these dirty streets
Somehow keep them clean
Christmas in someone's garage
Try to keep up on caffeine

Not your garden welcomes you
Tree bark scrapes your knee
The whirring of our sleepy song
It unnerves and comforts me

Cool nights in an empty house
Groceries go cold
Wishing you could still be here
So we both could've grown old

I want my friend
I want to see colors again
Taste food again
I want this to end
I want to get out of bed
Smile again

So I'll pack up my happiness and peace
I'll take what'll fit in my suitcase
I don't care if I'll be out of place
Saving face is not what I'm worried about
