lily - peter phillips [tx] lyrics

[verse 1]
the world is turning as they say
it isn’t strange
‘cause my head’s spinning the wrong way
it’s out of place
i can’t seem to get my legs to move fast enough
and i don’t think i’m going home
i need something to call my own, to put a stake in
i want a woman with eyes like silver
it is my fall that makes me hate myself, i know
i force myself to be alone
it’s bittersweet
i feel incomplete

[chorus 1]
oh, your roots are strong and i will cling to them, cling to them
your roots are strong and i will cling to them
the grass, it grows around, it’s envious of you
your roots are strong and i will cling to them, cling to them

[verse 2]
don’t bother with those other people
they don’t understand and won’t
just pray that they don’t find themselves in the same room
you may not see it now, but we all want you more than ever
we just find it hard to say
‘cause we all feel the same way, and for you to go
would be a cryin’ shame
how could i forgive myself?
[bridge 1]
the scars on your leg, no, they don’t bother me
the pain in your eyes is not all i see
‘cause i have been where you are now
and will be any second now
these are my peers, oh, but girl
you are my family
i find the beauty in your lips
and i feel the rhythm in your hips
i see the melody in your words and in your breath
oh, and the warmth of your body when you’re next to me
it’s love to me
yeah, this is love, to me

[chorus 2]
oh, ohh
your roots are strong and i will cling to them, cling to them
your roots are strong and i will cling to them
you are wise, i need your help
to make it through the night
your roots are strong and i will cling to them, cling to them

[bridge 2]
‘cause moments like this
they sure fade too quickly
they yearn like us to be let go
i will make them last as long as i can hope
i will remember you
[instrumental]

‘cause all the lonely people come together
and all the lost souls out there find each other
‘cause only lonely people know how this darkness overflows
no one knows you more than they
so cling to them
no one needs you more than they
so cling to them

[chorus 3]
oh, your roots are strong and i will cling to them, cling to them
your roots are strong and i will cling to them, cling to them
these are my friends, i will stop taking from them all the time
these are my friends and i will give to them
your roots are strong and i will cling to them
your branches hold and i will swing from them
and when i’m old, i will remember them
your hands are cold, i won’t let go
