Magnolia Leaves

As a young boy, I heard a rumour
About how the tree of the universe
Went through its seasons like we do here
And during fall it lost two magnolia leaves

One leaf for honor and stability
One leaf for victory and nobility
Twin leaves leave to live and lead
And so it came to be
That it was worth to breath

What I'd do to see you again?
A 120 miles per hour in a beat up car
To come back to you
And let you use your ink
To cover up every permanent scar

Whenever I travel on rugged oceans
Speeding cars, trains or aeroplanes
I close my eyes and pretend I'm heading
Heading somewhere else

To somewhere I don't have to imagine you
Because I can see you
Someplace where I don't have to dream of us
Because I can take your hands
Where I don't need the constant sound of distraction
Because your voice can still me
A place I don't need to smoke my brains out from my head
Because I'd rather get high on this instead

I'll get high on this instead
I'll get high on this instead
I'll get high on you instead
Oh!
I'll get high on you instead
I'll get high on you instead
I'll get high on you instead

One leaf for honor and stability
One leaf for victory and nobility
Twin leaves leave to live and lead
And so it came to be
That it was worth to breath
