That Tree

Late nights I'm thinking about where I went wrong
That's why I decided to write this song
Too many mistakes to count on one hand
It's like I've forgotten where to stand
Maybe it takes me too long to understand

I don't know
I never know
I just can't see
Where I should be
Maybe by that tree
Just you and me

Morning comes, a new perspective
A new part of me takes a breath in
I no longer care about yesterday
A new day has come and it keeps me guessing
Hope is the word and it is a blessing

I don't know
I never know
I just can't see
Where I should be
Maybe by that tree
Just you and me

Year by year
Up and down
My mind just wants to escape from this town
You can't cut the head from the heart
If you try and do it it'll fall apart
Just take a breath (take a breath)
Of course you know what to do (what to do)
So see it through

Time for a walk, another mistake
It's three am how did it get this late
But going to the river relaxes me
It takes my mind to where it should be
I start to think about when I'll be free

I don't know
I never know
I just can't see
Where I should be
Maybe by that tree
Just you and me

Real friends, they're hard to find
I don't know maybe it's a sign
I guess most people like to pretend
But if I give up then that's the end
Maybe one day you'll make amends

Now I know
I've always known
I can see
Where I'm supposed to be
Maybe by that tree
Just you and me
