Root Lyrics - Charlotte Martin

Bring me back to the time again 

When the fire is wild and the summer's red 

And you walk through weeds just to make a garden 

And we loved too much and we loved too hard 

And it went too fast and I went too far 

And nothin' could have stopped me back then 

Now I'm back to my childhood I can't believe 

That I was running 

But wasn't running from anything 

Anything yet 

Well, the root still grows in the concrete fine 

And you never think, you'll run out of time 

And the root still grows further than you know 

Though the tree is scared of heights 

Don't look down it's been 15 years 

How did I get this far from what I hold dear? 

I didn't think that I would need to think much 

And the air this high makes it hard to breathe 

And all I wanted was somethin' I could believe in 

Well, I believe that when you're leavin' me you're still here 

And the grass will 

Be scorched in the summer's sting 

And we'll dance there like it's not feelin' anything 

Anything yet 

Well, the root still grows in the concrete fine 

And you never think. you'll run out of time 

And the root still grows further than I know 

Though the tree is scared of heights 

And I'm still wait for everyone to keep their words 

It's like tryin' to start a fire that could not be burned 

And if you wanna cut me down you better aim low 

And you look at me like I still should pleased ya 

And you look at me like I still should need ya 

And I need too much, you need to much to need this 

To need this 

To need this 

To need this, oh, oh, oh 

To need this 

To need this 

To need this, oh, oh, oh 

To need this 

To need this, to need this 

Well, the root still grows in the concrete fine 

And you never think you'll run out of time 

And the root still goes further than you know 

The root still goes further than you know 

The root still grows at least that's what I'm told
