The boy in the tree
I'm taller than you, and yet you're looking down at me
The only way to see beyond you is to climb up in a tree
Like I did when I was five
Even young, I was always looking to get high
I scraped my knee and I bruised my thigh
But I climbed, I climbed, I climbed, I climbed, I climbed
And I saw him up there, I saw him, he stared, it was just us and the leaves
I saw him up there, no worries or cares, the boy in the tree
The boy in the tree
He had the loveliest smile, but he needed a shave
We talked for a while, I think he found me depraved
I started to feel alright after all those lunch breaks spent getting high
Bruised my self-esteem, I was scraping by
But I tried I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
And I saw him up there, I saw him, he stared, it was just us and the leaves
I saw him up there, no worries or cares, the boy in the tree
The boy in the tree
But if I left here tomorrow, would you notice I was gone
You've not a care in the world, but that means that you don't really love anyone
And I wish I mattered to you the way you matter to me
And I wish for once in my whole life I could get down from the tree
Will you join me
I saw him up there, I saw him, he stared, it was just us and the leaves
I saw him up there, no worries or cares, the boy in the tree
The boy in the tree
The only way to see beyond you is to climb up in a tree
Like I did when I was five
Even young, I was always looking to get high
I scraped my knee and I bruised my thigh
But I climbed, I climbed, I climbed, I climbed, I climbed
And I saw him up there, I saw him, he stared, it was just us and the leaves
I saw him up there, no worries or cares, the boy in the tree
The boy in the tree
He had the loveliest smile, but he needed a shave
We talked for a while, I think he found me depraved
I started to feel alright after all those lunch breaks spent getting high
Bruised my self-esteem, I was scraping by
But I tried I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
And I saw him up there, I saw him, he stared, it was just us and the leaves
I saw him up there, no worries or cares, the boy in the tree
The boy in the tree
But if I left here tomorrow, would you notice I was gone
You've not a care in the world, but that means that you don't really love anyone
And I wish I mattered to you the way you matter to me
And I wish for once in my whole life I could get down from the tree
Will you join me
I saw him up there, I saw him, he stared, it was just us and the leaves
I saw him up there, no worries or cares, the boy in the tree
The boy in the tree
